Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
An electro-coagulation gripping forceps comprising two arms and a jaw formed by oppositely disposed terminal parts on said arms, for utero-tube sterilization with the aid of a high frequency electromagnetic field generated between said parts by heating and destroying a tissue portion lying between said parts, said forceps comprising gripping segments on said arms including said terminal parts, and an insulating layer disposed on the external surfaces of said gripping segments terminating short of, for exposing, said terminal parts of said gripping segments, whereby the intensity of said high frequency electromagnetic field is substantially localized near said terminal parts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
99 words
An electro-coagulation gripping forceps comprising two arms and a jaw formed by oppositely disposed terminal parts on said arms, for utero-tube sterilization with the aid of a high frequency electromagnetic field generated between said parts by heating and destroying a tissue portion lying between said parts, said forceps comprising gripping segments on said arms including said terminal parts, and an insulating layer disposed on the external surfaces of said gripping segments terminating short of, for exposing, said terminal parts of said gripping segments, whereby the intensity of said high frequency electromagnetic field is substantially localized near said terminal parts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
141 words
An electro-coagulation forceps for utero-tube sterilization with the aid of a high frequency electromagnetic field, said forceps comprising two electrically conductive arms electrically insulated from each other, and including claw-like developed gripping segments at one end of said forceps, said segments including opposite terminal parts defining a jaw, a bow-like handle formed at the other end of said forceps mechanically connecting said arms, connecting means for electrically connecting said arms to an electrical generator for producing the high frequency electromagnetic field at said jaw, a tubular insulating shell through which said arms pass for manual insulated support of said forceps and an insulating layer disposed on the external surfaces of said gripping segments terminating short of, for exposing, said terminal parts of said gripping segments, whereby the intensity of said high frequency electromagnetic field is substantially localized near said terminal parts.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
141 words
An electro-coagulation forceps for utero-tube sterilization with the aid of a high frequency electromagnetic field, said forceps comprising two electrically conductive arms electrically insulated from each other, and including claw-like developed gripping segments at one end of said forceps, said segments including opposite terminal parts defining a jaw, a bow-like handle formed at the other end of said forceps mechanically connecting said arms, connecting means for electrically connecting said arms to an electrical generator for producing the high frequency electromagnetic field at said jaw, a tubular insulating shell through which said arms pass for manual insulated support of said forceps and an insulating layer disposed on the external surfaces of said gripping segments terminating short of, for exposing, said terminal parts of said gripping segments, whereby the intensity of said high frequency electromagnetic field is substantially localized near said terminal parts.
