Medical device for electrotomy

摘要

A medical device assembly for cutting body tissue by means of electrotomy, includes a generator for a high frequency alternating current which can be delivered by way of a pole and an opposite pole, wherein each pole is connected to at least one respective output terminal of the generator; a gripping instrument with two gripping arms which each have at least one respective gripping surface and which are connected together in such a way that the gripping surfaces are movable towards each other, wherein the gripping surface is at least partially electrically conductive and each is individually electrically connected to a respective terminal or they are electrically connected to a common terminal for an electrical supply line; and a cutting instrument which has a handle and a cutting electrode, wherein in operation the cutting electrode is connected to a pole of the generator and both gripping surfaces are connected to the opposite pole of the generator.
