Abstract

In a bipolar cutter for a living body tissue, a groove part is formed in a member that is arranged close to an active electrode, thereby providing a constitution to cut while the blood stanching is ensured since when a heat amount generated by the active electrode is conducted in the member, an excessive heat conduction to the member is efficiently interrupted by a layer of air that is produced due to the groove part and the living tissue is thus provided with more heat.
