A bipolar snare instrument for use in surgery is provided. The snare instrument has a snaring loop comprising a flexible continuous electrically-insulating loop for supporting bipolar electrodes. The electrodes may be arranged in various geometries on the insulating loop to provide localized selective necrosis and hemostasis of a patient's protruding tissue. Methods of performing surgery with such...

Reactive metal granules, especially of magnesium and/or magnesium alloys are produced directly from molten metal. The metal is fed under pressure to a granulation nozzle which forces the metal to aquire a circular motion of increasing velocity before it reaches the outlet of the nozzle and disintegrates successively into small fragments and droplets. These fragments and droplets are formed in an i...
