Endocoagulation: a new and completely safe medical current for sterilization.
Tubal sterilization via pelviscopy with low current represents a unique method: the risk of high-frequency is thereby eliminated, and the application of the Crocodile-Forceps is relatively simple. The mouth of the Crocodile-Forceps grasps the tube under pelviscopic control. Tubal coagulation succeeds under electronic control at 100 degrees C and the area of coagulation measures 6-8 mm in length. In case additional separation of the tube is desired it may be performed bloodlessly with a scissor-like movement. The Crocodile-Clamp is electronically monitored by the "Tube-Coagulator" or the universal endoscopic "Endo-Coagulator." Since 1973 964 tubal coagulations by means of cutting have been performed without postoperative hemorrhage or other complications (pregnancy rate 0).
