Abstract: A method for measuring temperature includes emitting light with an illumination spectrum into a tissue with at least one illumination, receiving the remission of light with a remission spectrum from the tissue using at least one detector, converting the remission spectrum into a detector signal, sending the detector signal to a calculating unit, calculating a first theoretical remission spectrum based on a solution for describing the propagation of light in the tissue with the calculating unit, assuming estimated volume fractions of the individual tissue components, adapting the theoretical remission spectrum to the measured remission spectrum, and calculating at least one volume fraction of a tissue component from the remissions spectrum using a minimization algorithm, which is used by the calculating unit to adapt the theoretical remission spectrum to the measured remission spectrum using variations in the volume fractions of the individual tissue components which are present in the tissue.

Abstract: A medical instrument includes an endoscope shaft and an electrode cap with a pin axially movable in the endoscope shaft. A first electrode is held by a first electrode carrier at a distal end piece of the endoscope shaft, and a second electrode is held by a second electrode carrier at the electrode cap. A safety switch is arranged in proximity to one of the electrode carriers and interconnected with a feed line that feeds HF current to the second electrode. The safety switch can be brought into an OFF or disconnect position to disconnect HF current supply to the second electrode. The safety switch can include an outer contact ring fixed at a proximal end portion of the pin, and an actuating rod that protrudes from the pin at the distal end and transmits movement to the second electrode carrier.

Abstract: The present application discloses a centering aid for a container having a container trough, with an access opening, a container lid and a seal. In the closed state of the container, the seal is arranged between the container trough and the container lid. The centering aid has a first centering device, which is provided on either the container lid or the container trough, and a second centering device, which is provided on the other of either the container lid or the container trough. The first and second centering devices interact in such a way as to ensure that, in the closed state of the container, the seal is in contact with the container trough and with the container lid along the entire periphery of the access opening.

Abstract: A surgical clip is provided, having two clip arms and a resiliently flexible element pivotally connecting the two clip arms together. The two clip arms each have a first free end, which are held in parallel to and in contact with each other with a predetermined closing force by the flexible element in a rest position. At a second end opposite the free end, the clip arms are held connected to a wall section of the flexible element that is arranged substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the clip arms, extends between the second ends of the clip arms and has a first wall portion facing towards the clip arms and a second wall portion facing away from the clip arms. The flexible element is made from a plastics material by injection molding. The first wall portion is produced with a greater shrinkage than the second wall portion.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a female instrument part that defines a hollow volume in a coupling region and a male instrument part that forms a guide section in the coupling region. The guide section is configured to at least partially pass through the hollow volume. A pivoting element, which has an upper section, a center section, and a lower section, couples the female instrument part and the male instrument part to each other in such a way that the female instrument part and male instrument part can pivot relative to each other about an axis of rotation of the pivoting element. A lateral upper contact step is formed between the upper section and the center section of the pivoting element and a lateral lower contact step is formed between the lower section and the center section of the pivoting element.
