Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacture method of a low cost electric surgical instrument having an elastic conductor to be put buried in a mold injected housing. SOLUTION: An electric surgical instrument 10 is equipped with an elastic conductor 18 to be put buried in a mold injected housing 11. The conductor 18 stretches out of the terminal of a generator for electric surgery through the instrument and applied onto a patient electrode 15 on its top 12. Cost of the instrument 10 is reduced as it is made possible to get rid of complicated fixture process of the conductor arising from putting a hard conductor 18 in the mold injection process. Its manufacturing cost is as well reduced as it is possible to apply the patient electrode onto the conductor 18 before assembling an instrument housing.

Abstract: The instrument has a single flexible conductor embedded in an injection moulded instrument housing (13) which can be held by a surgeon and which is coupled to an HF generator at one end and to a patient electrode at the distal end of the instrument. The instrument housing is formed as a pair of clamp arms (22,23) which can be moved together to clamp the tissue between their free ends (31), one of which incorporates the patient electrode.
