With the bipolar mode there are still two electrodes, an active and a return electrode. They are both incorporated into the same instrument. In this example, the current flows between the tips (simplistically, one is the active and the other is the return) of the bipolar forceps that are grasping tissue. Because the current flows from one tip (electrode), through tissue, to the other tip (electrode) the circuit is completed without current traveling through any other part of the patient’s body. A return electrode (pad) is not needed for a bipolar procedure. The tissue effect of bipolar el
