Bipolar diathermy has four significant advantages over other methods:
1. Limited depth or spread of coagulation.
When using the forceps, current flow is concentrated between closely spaced electrode tips and there is little depth or spread of coagulation. Of course, should the electrodes touch each other without tissues in between them, they will short circuit and coagulation will not occur (blade spacers are available to set tip distance).
2. Coagulation can be done with saline.
Bipolar diathermy is best accomplished using saline irrigation which minimizes tissue heating, shrinkage, drying, and the sticking of coagulum to the electrodes. There is a tendency for the forceps tips to become coated when used in a dry field or under a layer of blood; coagulation under saline irrigation minimizes these concerns. | Translation - German
Bipolare Diathermie hat vier entscheidende Vorteile gegenüber anderen Methoden:
1. Begrenzte Tiefe oder Ausbreitung der Koagulation.
Bei Verwendung der Pinzette ist der Stromfluss auf den Raum zwischen den nah beieinander liegenden Elektrodenspitzen begrenzt und die Koagulationstiefe und -ausbreitung bleibt gering. Sollten sich jedoch die Elektroden ohne Gewebekontakt berühren, kommt es zum Kurzschluss und es erfolgt keine Koagulation. (Branchenabstandhalter sind erhältlich, um den Abstand zwischen den Spitzen einzustellen.)
2. Die Koagulation kann mit Kochsalzlösung erfolgen.
Bipolare Diathermie wird am besten mit einer Spülung mit Kochsalzlösung erzielt, wodurch Gewebserhitzung, -schwund und -austrocknung sowie das Anhaften des Koagulums an die Elektroden minimiert werden. Wenn sie unter trockenen Bedingungen oder unter einer Blutschicht verwendet werden, kann sich auf den Pinzettenspitzen ein Film bilden; Koagulation in Gegenwart von Kochsalzlösung mindert diese Gefahr. | German to English: Porcelain workshop exhibition catalog

Muss Geschirr immer den Konventionen gehorchen? Dieser Frage ist die Schweizer Keramikerin ABC nachgegangen. Auf der Suche nach einer Antwort hat sie ein Gebrauchsgeschirr seiner Funktionen beraubt: Dem Milchkännchen scheint ein Flügel zu wachsen, die Tasse hat sich aufgeplustert und der Deckel der Teekanne will nicht mehr schließen. Ränder von Schälchen beginnen zu flattern. … Beobachten, analysieren, verstehen: XYZ schätzt die Methoden der exakten Wissenschaft. „Forscherdrang ist ein Teil meiner Persönlichkeit“, sagt die ungarische Designerin. Sie hat [Name der Porzellanmanufaktur] -Formen zerlegt und dabei schöne Details zum Vorschein gebracht. Gefäßkörper und Henkel hat sie zu asymmetrischen Gebilden montiert. | Translation - English
Does tableware always have to follow conventions? This question was explored by ABC, a Swiss ceramist. In search of an answer she deprived everyday tableware of its function: The milk jug seems to grow a wing, the cup has fluffed up and the lid of the teapot won't close anymore. Rims of small bowls begin to flutter. ... Observing, analysing, comprehending: XYZ appreciates the methods of hard science. "The desire to explore is part of my personality" says the Hungarian designer. She took [name of porcelain factory] designs apart and in the process revealed fine details. She assembled vessel bodies and handles into asymmetrical objects. |

While I specialize in scientific translations (General Biology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biotechnology, General Medicine) I have also translated manuals for project management software and medical devices and I am a long time translator for a German-based NGO that represents the interests of the African Diaspora in Germany.
Recently, I went back to school for a certificate in translation (German > English) at NYU. I also write creative non-fiction and have been working on a children’s book, both in English.
I am a German native living in Boston, Massachusetts since 1995.
