Double-jointed instrument for surgical applications has two distal branches insulated against each other with at least one branch in area between first and second joints consisting of electrically insulated components

摘要

The double-jointed instrument for surgical applications has two pivotably interconnected proximal branches (10,12) which by their distal end are pivotably connected to two pivotably interconnected distal branches (16,18). The two distal branches are insulated against each other with at least one of these branches in the area between the first and second joints (14,20) consisting of electrically insulated components (48,52). An electrical connection (44) is formed on one of the proximal branches (12) and insulated against this branch and by insulated electrical wiring (46) is connected to the section of the branches (12,18) closer to the second joint (20).
