Bharat Surgical manufactures and supplies reusable bipolar clamping forceps for tissue grasping, bipolar coagulation and vessel-sealing applications. The published Bi-Clamp configuration has straight jaws, a 200 mm working length, a maximum jaw opening of 15 mm and a Storz-type cable connector. Bi-Clamp-type instruments must be matched with an approved electrosurgical generator, bipolar or vessel-sealing mode and compatible cable. Buyers should not infer generator compatibility or vessel-sealing capacity from the connector, product name or physical appearance alone.
These instruments are intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals. This page provides procurement information and does not replace the instrument or electrosurgical generator instructions for use.
Bharat Surgical’s current online listing verifies a product named “Biclamp Forceps.” A separate Bharat Surgical listing or technical datasheet for “B-Caliburn” could not be verified from the currently available product information.
Before publishing this page, Bharat Surgical should confirm whether:
Until confirmed, B-Caliburn specifications should not be invented or copied from a different manufacturer’s product.
BiClamp® is also used by Erbe Elektromedizin for its proprietary vessel-sealing technology and instruments. Bharat Surgical should not imply that its Bi-Clamp-type forceps are manufactured, authorised or approved by Erbe unless written documentation establishes that relationship.
For website clarity, use one of these descriptions after internal confirmation:
Compatible Bi-Clamp-Style Forceps, followed by the exact approved generator compatibility
Do not use third-party logos, model codes, performance data or product photographs without authorisation.
A Bi-Clamp-type forceps is a bipolar electrosurgical clamping instrument designed to grasp and compress tissue between two conductive jaws. When connected to an approved electrosurgical generator through a compatible bipolar cable, energy passes between the jaw electrodes.
Depending on the exact instrument-generator system, the forceps is designed for:
The product name alone does not establish a particular sealing diameter, generator mode or clinical application.

B-Caliburn should not inherit the Bi-Clamp specifications unless Bharat Surgical confirms they are the same instrument.
The published Bi-Clamp has a 200 mm working length but does not state a shaft diameter or compatible port. This creates an important classification question.
A 200 mm clamp may be intended for:
Before positioning the product as laparoscopic, confirm:
If it is not designed to pass through a laparoscopic trocar, the page should be moved or cross-listed under open-surgery bipolar instruments.

The Bharat Surgical product and the proprietary Erbe BiClamp® system should not be treated as automatically equivalent.
Erbe describes its BiClamp® technology as part of a system involving:
Erbe’s published performance data applies only to the exact Erbe instruments and compatible generators identified in its documentation. See Erbe’s official BiClamp LAP information and VIO vessel-sealing platform information.
Bharat Surgical must conduct or document its own compatibility and performance validation. Third-party claims such as a 7 mm vessel capacity must not be copied to the Bharat product.
The listing describes tissue sealing and coagulation as applications. However, it does not publish:
Therefore, the website should not claim that the product seals vessels of a specific diameter until documented test data and system compatibility are available.
The complete connection path should be verified:
Compatibility Advisory: The catalogue entry “compatible with other ESU” is too broad to establish compatibility with a particular generator.
No. “Storz type” describes the listed instrument-side connector, but several factors still need confirmation:
A connector that physically fits may still be electrically or functionally unsuitable.
The published maximum jaw opening is 15 mm. Buyers should also request:
The 15 mm jaw-opening value describes the mechanical opening and does not indicate a 15 mm vessel-sealing capacity.
Straight jaws provide a direct working profile. Before ordering, request a clear jaw photograph or drawing to confirm:
A product name alone is insufficient for comparing instruments from different suppliers.
The Bharat Surgical Bi-Clamp listing does not mention an integrated cutter. Unless confirmed otherwise, the product should be treated as a bipolar clamping forceps without a built-in cutting blade.
If B-Caliburn is intended to be a cutting model, Bharat Surgical should provide:
The published Bi-Clamp is described as reusable and autoclavable. A reusable electrosurgical clamp requires controlled:
Reusable does not mean unlimited reuse. The instrument must be removed from service when it no longer meets the manufacturer’s inspection or functional requirements.
The listing identifies the product as sterile and also describes it as reusable. The quotation should clarify whether:
Do not publish a sterile claim without confirming the sterilisation method, packaging, shelf life and applicable documentation.
Confirm correct alignment Check complete opening and closing Inspect electrode surfaces Check for corrosion, pitting or residue Inspect serrations Verify hinge movement Confirm jaw tips meet as intended Check for deformation
Inspect for cracks, peeling or pinholes Check for burn marks Confirm shaft straightness Inspect the transition between shaft and jaws Check insulated handle components Confirm there are no loose parts
Verify smooth operation Check ratchet engagement, if present Confirm full release Inspect for cracks Check grip security Confirm that jaw movement matches handle movement
Confirm correct cable code Inspect cable insulation Check strain-relief areas Examine plugs and pins Confirm dry, clean contact surfaces Check for loose or corroded components An instrument or cable showing damage should be removed from service.
Reprocess the Bi-Clamp only according to its product-specific validated instructions.
The process may include:
Do not use another manufacturer’s BiClamp® reprocessing instructions for the Bharat Surgical instrument. Erbe publishes separate reprocessing instructions for its own BiClamp LAP products, demonstrating why model-specific procedures are necessary.
Service evaluation may cover:
Repair must not alter the approved jaw geometry, closing pressure, insulation, electrical path or product classification.
Include the following in the enquiry:
Dealers may request:
Regulatory status and labelling must be confirmed for the destination market.
"Reusable Bipolar Clamping Forceps, straight-jaw configuration, approximately 200 mm published working length, maximum jaw opening 15 mm, stainless-steel working components with insulated handle or shaft construction, and Storz-type instrument connector. Instrument to be compatible with [generator manufacturer and model] through an approved bipolar cable and [specified generator mode]. Supplier to confirm shaft diameter, intended open or laparoscopic use, maximum rated voltage, validated sealing capacity, sterile-supply status and reprocessing instructions."
Do not add “with cutter,” “7 mm vessel sealing” or “Erbe compatible” unless these features are documented for the exact quoted model.

It is a bipolar clamping instrument designed to compress and coagulate or seal tissue when used with an approved generator, mode and cable.
A separate Bharat Surgical technical listing for B-Caliburn could not be verified. Bharat Surgical should confirm whether it is a distinct model or whether the sitemap name requires correction.
This has not been established. They should be treated as separate names until Bharat Surgical confirms their relationship.
The available information does not establish that it is manufactured or authorised by Erbe. No affiliation should be claimed without written evidence.
The Bharat Surgical Bi-Clamp listing specifies a 200 mm working length.
The published model has straight jaws.
The listing states a maximum jaw opening of 15 mm.
No. Jaw opening and validated vessel-sealing diameter are different specifications.
The validated maximum vessel diameter is not published. It must be confirmed for the exact instrument and generator combination.
No. A 7 mm claim published for a third-party system cannot be transferred to the Bharat Surgical product.
The listing mentions laparoscopic application, but it does not publish a shaft diameter or compatible trocar. Its laparoscopic classification requires confirmation.
The 200 mm configuration may be suitable for certain open or limited-access applications, but intended use must be confirmed in the IFU.
The shaft diameter is not stated in the current listing. It should be confirmed before selecting a trocar.
An integrated cutter is not mentioned for the published Bi-Clamp model.
No. The separate vessel-sealer model includes an integrated cutter. The listed Bi-Clamp should not be described as a cutting instrument unless verified.
The instrument has a published Storz-type connector.
No. Connector fit does not establish correct wiring, voltage rating, cable compatibility or generator mode.
No. The catalogue’s broad “other ESU” description must be replaced by model-specific compatibility confirmation.
Use only the mode stated in the approved instrument and generator instructions. Do not select settings from a general website page.
That depends on the exact product classification and validation. Bharat Surgical should identify the approved generator platforms and modes.
A conventional bipolar circuit generally does not require a separate monopolar return pad. Follow the generator instructions because systems may use multiple energy modes.
The current listing does not clearly state whether the cable is included. Confirm it in the quotation.
Yes, the published Bharat Surgical model is described as reusable.
The listing describes it as autoclavable. Use only the validated reprocessing cycle provided for the exact model.
The product table states sterile, but the packaging, sterilisation method and shelf-life documentation should be verified.
The listing contains conflicting plastic and stainless-steel fields. Component-wise construction must be confirmed.
Check alignment, opening, closure, electrode surfaces, serrations, hinges, corrosion, residue and deformation.
Check for cracks, cuts, peeling, pinholes, burn marks and other damage according to the manufacturer and hospital procedure.
Follow its model-specific IFU, paying particular attention to jaws, serrations, hinges and electrode surfaces.
No. Another manufacturer’s instructions should not replace Bharat Surgical’s validated reprocessing procedure.
Only through an approved service process. Uncontrolled adjustment may alter instrument performance.
A damaged cable should be removed from service and assessed under an approved repair or replacement procedure.
Sample evaluation may be discussed, subject to availability and commercial terms.
Yes, subject to model confirmation, quantity, packaging, documentation and destination.
Buyers should request a written declaration identifying the instrument, cable, compatible generator and approved mode.
Provide the product name, intended use, quantity, required dimensions, generator brand and model, cable details and delivery destination.
The core Bi-Clamp content can be prepared, but B-Caliburn should not be presented as a verified product until its model name and specifications are confirmed.
Price depends on: Request a model-specific quotation instead of comparing products only by the terms “Bi-Clamp” or “B-Caliburn.”
