The objective of this blinded randomized trial was to compare five sets of bipolar forceps, both single use and reusable, and discuss their potential role in postoperative complications. An animal tissue experiment was set up with standardized parameters. Results indicate larger tips give larger burns. We also found that some forceps gave suboptimal burns.
