Pemium Laparoscopic 5 mm Vessel Sealer Laproscopy Instrument with Golden Tip

✅ What it is

A 5 mm laparoscopic vessel sealer with a golden tip (or “golden jaw”) is a bipolar electrosurgical forceps designed for minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgeries. Its main purpose is to seal (coagulate) blood vessels or small tissue bundles and, if configured as a “sealer-cutter,” to cut the sealed tissue — all through a small (5 mm) port.

Because of its small diameter (5 mm) and long shaft (typically ~330 mm), it’s compatible with standard laparoscopic trocars and suitable for various abdominal, urology, gynecology or general surgical procedures.

🔧 Key Features & Construction

• Bipolar Electrosurgical Technology: The instrument uses bipolar energy — current flows between two electrodes at the jaws — to deliver controlled heat precisely at the tissue between the jaws. This enables safe vessel sealing with minimal thermal spread to surrounding tissue.

• Dual Function (Seal + Cut): Many 5 mm vessel sealers are “sealer-cutters” — they both seal vessels (coagulation) and include a built-in mechanism to cut the sealed tissue. This reduces the need for instrument exchange mid-surgery, thus improving efficiency and reducing surgical time.

• Golden Tip / Golden Jaw: The “golden tip” refers to jaws coated or finished in a gold-colored material (often a non-stick / conductive coating). Benefits often cited:

  • Better visibility in the operative field (gold finish may reduce glare and improve contrast).

  • Improved conductivity/consistent energy delivery and reliable sealing performance.

  • Less tissue sticking to the jaws (non-stick surface), which helps maintain a clear surgical field and reduces inadvertent tissue trauma.

• Slim Shaft (5 mm): Designed to pass through standard 5 mm laparoscopy ports (trocars), minimizing incision size and reducing surgical invasiveness.

• Long Working Length: Typically around 330 mm — allows access deep into the abdominal cavity during laparoscopic procedures while giving the surgeon good control and reach.

• Reusable & Autoclavable: Made from medical-grade stainless steel (and other surgical-grade materials), these instruments are designed to be sterilized and reused multiple times — which is often important for cost-effectiveness in surgical settings

• Ergonomic Handle / Compatible with Bipolar Cables: Many versions come with a comfortable handle (often “Wolf-type” or “Bissinger” handle) and are compatible with standard bipolar electrosurgical generators (bipolar cables included or connectable), facilitating easy integration into existing laparoscopic theater setups.

🏥 Typical Applications / Use Cases

Such a 5 mm vessel sealer / sealer-cutter with golden tip is used in minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgeries, including — but not limited to — general abdominal surgery, gynecological procedures, urology, and other laparoscopic interventions.

Specifically, it is useful in procedures where secure vessel sealing followed by tissue division is needed — such as during organ dissection, removal of lesions, oophorectomy, adrenalectomy, or other laparoscopic resections.

It helps reduce the need for clip ligation or suturing for small-to-medium vessels (commonly up to ~7 mm diameter) and minimizes blood loss, while also offering a clean, efficient workflow.

✅ Advantages (What Surgeons / Hospitals Gain)

• Minimally invasive access → smaller incision, less trauma, faster recovery

• Efficiency — seals and cuts in a single step → reduces instrument exchanges, operating time

• Precise hemostasis — controlled energy delivery reduces risk of bleeding and thermal damage

• Reusable and sterilizable — cost-effective in the long run

• Good visibility + non-stick jaws — safer and cleaner surgical field
