ELECTROSURGICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

The present application relates to an electrosurgical instrument for seizing, coagulating, and severing vessels. With such instruments, it is important to achieve sufficiently secure closure of the tissue before the tissue is severed. The present application proposes an electrosurgical instrument, in particular electrosurgical pliers, having a first jaw part and a second jaw part. Said instrument comprises at least one pressing element on the first jaw part, and at least one receiving surface on the second jaw part, wherein the jaw parts are arranged pivotably within a guide plane from a receiving position to a fixed position. In the fixed position, a section of a hollow organ between the at least one pressing element and the at least one receiving surface can be fixed using a pressure force, wherein the receiving surfaces are slanted at an acute angle with respect to the guide plane, at least in some sections, in order to increase the pressing force.
