Abstract
A bipolar clamp for high-frequency surgery, in particular for coagulating tissue, having at least two bipolar clamping parts which are movable relative to one another, defining a grasping region between an open position and a coagulation position (e.g., closed position) and having electrodes for coagulating tissue that is grasped by the clamping parts in the grasping region. The clamping parts are formed of an electrically conductive core which is surrounded by a thin-layer electrical insulation and the electrodes are arranged on the clamping parts as thin pin electrodes that protrude through the thin-layer electrical insulation into the grasping region.

18. A bipolar clamp for use in high-frequency surgery, the bipolar clamp comprising:
-
at least two bipolar clamping parts, each clamping part comprising; an electrically conductive core; a thin-layer electrical insulation surrounding the electrically conductive core; and a plurality of electrodes arranged on the electrically conductive core and protruding through the thin-layer electrical insulation, wherein the clamping parts are movable relative to one another, between an open position and a coagulation position, and in the coagulation position the clamping parts define a grasping region, and wherein the electrodes of each clamping part protrude through the respective thin-layer electrical insulation into the grasping region. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
