Abstract

A current supply arrangement () is used for electrical supply of two electrodes (), as well as for mechanical force transmission in a thermofusion instrument. Due to the configuration of the two electrical conductors () as upright arranged flat parts and the force concerned coupling thereof in an interlocking section (), the electrical conductors () can be used as mechanical stiffening elements, whereby a filigree, gap-free, easily and reliably sterilizable configuration is achieved. The current supply of the instrument () is provided via one single cable () only, which is provided only on one of the two jaws ().
