Konig 13-1331 10mm x 19-3/4" Bipolar Babcock Grasping Forceps

The Konig 13-1331 is a specialized laparoscopic instrument engineered for the safe, atraumatic manipulation of delicate tissues combined with the precision of bipolar electrosurgery. The 10mm Babcock jaws provide a broad, circumferential grip that prevents "point-loading" and serosal tearing, making it ideal for bowel resection, gastric bypass, and complex gynecological staging. Unlike monopolar tools, the bipolar functionality ensures that energy is confined strictly between the jaws, significantly reducing the risk of stray current and thermal injury to adjacent vital structures.

Featuring a ratcheting handle, this instrument allows for static, "hands-free" retraction, which is vital during long dissections where hand fatigue can compromise surgical precision. The 19-3/4 inch (50 cm) shaft is a bariatric specialty, ensuring the surgeon can reach the hiatus or the deep pelvis through a 10mm trocar even in patients with a deep abdominal wall.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Konig

• Model Number: 13-1331

• Jaw Style: Atraumatic Babcock (Wide-Aperture)

• Energy Type: Bipolar (Dual-Pin Connector)

• Shaft Diameter: 10 mm

• Working Length: 19-3/4 inches (Approx. 50 cm) — Bariatric Specialty Length

• Handle Type: Ergonomic Ratcheting / Locking Handle

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Simultaneous Grasp & Hemostasis: Allows the surgeon to control small bleeding vessels while maintaining a secure hold on the tissue, reducing instrument exchanges and operative time.

• Extended Bariatric Reach: The 50 cm length is approximately 50% longer than standard instruments, providing essential access in morbidly obese patients where 33 cm tools fall short.

• Enhanced Safety Profile: Fully insulated 10mm sheath prevents capacitive coupling and protects the trocar site from thermal damage during energy activation.

• Atraumatic Bowel Handling: The Babcock geometry is specifically designed to "cradle" tubular structures without crushing, preserving the integrity of the tissue for anastomosis.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The bipolar circuit has been continuity-tested. The ratcheting mechanism locks securely, and the Babcock jaws align with 100% precision.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical usage, including minor surface scuffs, light scratches on the insulation, and typical sterilization-related patina. These are purely cosmetic and do not impact the electrical or mechanical integrity of the device.

• Reprocessing Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated Bariatric/Laparoscopic protocols prior to use.
