Abstract
A probe for use in the coagulation of biological tissue by plasma discharge comprises a protective device with a mask made of an insulating material. The mask is so constructed and attachable to the probe that parts of the biological tissue that are vulnerable or other parts that likewise should not be coagulated can be shielded by the masking region.
