Abstract:
An HF-loaded electrode (18) cooperating with an electrode support (19, 119, 219) consisting of at least one externally insulated electric conductor wire (20, 120) for use in a urological resectoscope (1) comprising a stem tube (2) running in an axial direction and affixed at a proximal end to a main block (3), a slide block (13) being supported proximally from said main block and in an axially displaceable manner parallel to said main block, said slide block comprising a seat (24) into which, when said resectoscope is assembled, is inserted a proximal end region of the electrode support (19, 119, 219), the electrode support resting and axially displaceable in the stem tube (2) and crossing the main block (3) in order to affix an affixation zone (25) of the electrode support (19, 119, 219) via an affixation element (31) of the slide block (13) and to electrically contact a first contacting zone (26, 126) of the electrode support (19, 119, 219) via a first contacting element (28, 29, 128, 129) of the main block (3), wherein the affixation zone (25) is configured proximally relative to the first contact zone (26, 126).
