Abstract
The base of a clip or forceps for application of high-frequency electricity for coagulation of living tissues provides mechanical securing of the electrodes to each other by means of a dovetail tongue and groove engagement with an intervening insulation layer of material hardened after injection between the jaws or branches of the clip. A contact socket can simply be applied over the surface of the base of the clip, so that the device is easily handled by the surgeon, while at the same time the security of the mechanical fastening at the base of the clip is not subject to impairment by repeated sterilization at 134.degree.
