The bipolar resectoscope for safe transurethral resection. The arrangement of the bipolar Plasmaloop electrodes ensures excellent incision behavior and precise, reliable and consistent incision or coagulation quality throughout the entire procedure. This specially selected design of the two distal electrodes also means that no current is conducted via the resectoscope shaft and potential thermal tissue damage due to leakage currents or damaged insulation is thus avoided.
