Abstract
A bipolar coagulation forceps 1 with a connection 2 for high frequency energy and two forceps limbs 4 capable of being pressed together against a spring tension is so constructed that a rinsing tube can be provided in a simple manner and without impinging on the space between the forceps limbs 4. For this purpose, the forceps limbs 4 comprise grips 5 which can be pushed together against spring tension with working limbs 6 subsequently fastened on them, whereby then at least one of the working limbs 6 has a hollow cross section or is constructed as a tube and has a connection 7 for the rinsing fluid, so that guidance parts 11 can be arranged between the grips 5 for the reciprocal guidance of the working tips 3 of the forceps 1. The working limbs 6 are for this reason arranged on parallel narrow sides 8 of the grips 5, that is lateral to the grip areas, where the guiding parts 11 are accommodated.
