Abstract
An adapter is provided for a power connection element between a handle and an electrosurgical instrument to be attached to it. This provides an adapter that makes it possible to reduce organizational effort and costs in the production of electrosurgical instruments with monopolar electrodes. To this end, the adapter includes an insulating portion for adapting an insulating section of the power connection element and an electrically conductive portion for adapting at least one electrically conductive section of the power connection element. The insulating portion and the electrically conductive portion are configured in such a way that the insulating section and the electrically conductive section have their dimensions increased.
