Abstract: A bipolar coagulation forceps with a fixed forceps leg, a pivot support, and a pivoting forceps leg, which can pivot relative to the fixed forceps leg via a pivot element and which is electrically insulated from the fixed forceps leg is provided, with the forceps legs essentially being made from biocompatible metal. The pivot element is likewise essentially made from biocompatible metal and attaches directly to the moving forceps leg. An insulating body electrically insulating the pivot element and the moving forceps leg from the fixed forceps leg is arranged on or fixed to the fixed forceps leg as a pivot support, on which the moving forceps leg is supported by the pivot element.

Abstract: A bipolar coagulation forceps (1) with a fixed forceps leg (2), a pivot support (3), and a pivoting forceps leg (4), which can pivot relative to the fixed forceps leg via a pivot element (6, 11, 12) and which is electrically insulated from the fixed forceps leg is provided, with the forceps legs (2, 4) essentially being made from biocompatible metal. The pivot element (6, 11, 12) is likewise essentially made from biocompatible metal and attaches directly to the moving forceps leg (4). An insulating body (5a, 5b) electrically insulating the pivot element (6, 11, 12) and the moving forceps leg (4) from the fixed forceps leg (2) is arranged on or fixed to the fixed forceps leg (2) as a pivot support (3), on which the moving forceps leg (4) is supported by the pivot element (6, 11, 12).

Abstract: Coagulation forceps (1) with a hollow shaft (2) and with a fixed forceps leg (3), set at an angle in reference to the hollow shaft (2) and provided with a gripping surface (3a) are provided, having a forceps leg (6) pivotally mounted in reference thereto at a pivot support (4). At the exterior or bottom side facing away from the pivotal forceps leg (6), a hollow profile (8) is provided for stiffening or reinforcing it, which has a mouth or entry opening (10) at the distal end of its interior longitudinal caving (9), i.e. is open and leads to a suction connection (12) so that suction can be applied via the hollow profile (8) in the distal end region of this forceps leg (3).

Abstract: Coagulation tweezers (1) provided with two tweezers legs (2) and (3), with their mutual pivoting apart from each other being limited by a stop element (6) and a counter stop element (7). Here, the protrusion or head (10) of the stop element (6), during the opening or closing the legs (2) and (3) of the tweezers, is movable inside the counter stop element (7) in reference thereto, and is spaced apart a distance in the radial direction during its relative displacement or pivotal path movement in reference to the interior longitudinal cavity (12) of the counter stop element (7) so that during normal pivotal motions of the tweezers no friction develops by these stop elements.

Abstract: A bipolar double-hinged instrument (1) has two forceps legs (3, 4), which are supported on a common forceps leg shaft (2) so that they can pivot (Pf2), which are insulated electrically from each other, and which can pivot in opposite directions via respective toggle-lever elements (5, 6, 7, 8) and a connecting rod (11) that can move in a tubular shaft (9) in a longitudinal direction (Pf1). The connecting rod (11) and a toggle-lever element (5) are connected to each other in an electrically conductive way, wherein the connecting rod (11) and the toggle-lever elements (5, 7) are supported on the connecting rod shaft (10), which is electrically insulated from the connecting rod (11) and the toggle-lever element (5), so that they can rotate. Between the connecting rod (11) and the toggle-lever element (7) there is at least one connecting rod insulating part electrically insulating the connecting rod (11) and the toggle-lever element (5) from the toggle-lever element (7).
