Abstract
A urological resectoscope having an axially extending shaft tube, the proximal end thereof being fixed to a main body. A sliding body is proximally positioned in relation to the main body, and can slide in a parallel manner in relation to the axis thereof. The sliding body includes a receiver, a fixing device and a contacting device. An electrode which can be subjected to a high frequency, including an electrode carrier having one external, insulated conductive wire, can be positioned in the resectoscope such that it can axially slide beyond the distal end of the shaft tube. In the assembly position, the electrode carrier extends through the shaft tube and the main body into the receiver, and can be fixed thereto by the fixing device and contacted therein by the contacting device. The contacting device defines an opening of the sliding body, the opening completely cutting through in a transversal direction relative to the receiver, and extends perpendicularly relative thereto, to a depth on the other side thereof. In the contacted state, the contacting device includes a clamping connector that is designed for pivotable clamping on a contact section of the electrode carrier.
