Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method produces a flat electrode of a high-frequency surgical instrument, which has in at least one layer height of metal and in at least one other layer height of ceramic, wherein the flat electrode is produced in the form of a green body and then sintered.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . Method for producing a flat electrode of a high-frequency surgical instrument, which consists in at least one layer height of metal and in at least one other layer height of ceramic, wherein the flat electrode is produced in the form of a green body and then sintered. 2 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the green body is produced from several films which are applied one on top of the other in the form of green films. 3 . Method according to claim 2 , wherein films made of different materials that alternate one on top of the other are applied. 4 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the green body is formed from a mixture of metal and ceramic in which the mixing ratio changes continuously or stepwise with the layer height. 5 . Method according to claim 1 , wherein the green body is brought to the desired shape before the sintering. 6 . Method according to claim 2 , wherein the green body is brought to the desired shape before the sintering. 7 . Method according to claim 3 , wherein the green body is brought to the desired shape before the sintering. 8 . Method according to claim 4 , wherein the green body is brought to the desired shape before the sintering.
