Abstract
A coagulation forceps with a tubular shaft and with two forceps limbs and, which can both be movable or of which one is fixed, are uncovered on the gripping surfaces that face one another and serve for gripping tissue to be treated. At the distal ends, they have end surfaces, which contact a common plane, and are insulated on their outer sides that face away from one another, and provision is made for current connections for connection to a radiofrequency generator or to a current source for bipolar coagulation. Here, not only the gripping surfaces, but also the distal end surfaces of the forceps limbs and are uncovered and these uncovered end surfaces can be connected to uncovered outer surfaces of the forceps limbs and continuing said end surfaces such that tissue contacted by the two end surfaces and/or the outer surfaces can also be coagulated in a bipolar manner.
