Abstract

A device for resection and/or ablation of organic tissue by means of high-frequency current comprises, at the distal end, a loop that can be acted upon by high-frequency voltage and, in the proximal direction from the loop, at least one helix that can likewise be acted upon by high-frequency voltage, the arrangement of loop and helix being able to be moved in rotation about the longitudinal axis of the helix.
