Electrode instrument for use in a hand-held surgical device, hand-held surgical device component, and method for using an electrode instrument

摘要

Electrode instruments of the genus type may be formed as single use products. Multiple use of these products is a deliberate abuse. Since this multiple use cannot guarantee both the patient safety and the functionality of the electrode instrument, reprocessing of the instruments must be prevented. The invention provides an electrode instrument by which the patient safety and the reliable functionality of the instrument can be ensured. This is achieved by having an electrode instrument (16) having at least one electrically conductive connecting component (22),comprising a low-melting electrically conductive alloy.
