An electrosurgical instrument is disclosed, with a jaw part made of instrument arms that can be moved towards one another, on the facing sides of which one or more electrode surfaces are respectively arranged/formed, wherein the movement of the instrument arms relative to one another can be limited by at least one first spacer acting on proximal end sections of the instrument arms, and by at least one second spacer acting on distal end sections of the instrument arms. According to the invention, at least one of the spacers on at least one electrode is produced from an electrically conductive material and is electroconductively connected to said electrode. In addition, the spacer interacts with a local spacer contact surface made of a nonconductive material which is arranged in an electrically insulating manner on at least one opposing electrode. |
