Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A sonotrode includes a stem extending along a longitudinal axis and a cap configured to carry out an ablative process on tissue using mechanical oscillation. The cap has at least one portion that protrudes further in a radial direction than the stem, and the at least one portion has at least one sharp rim. A surface of the cap, which is arranged between a distal end of the stem and the sharp rim of the portion, is a concave surface and/or runs at an opening angle with respect to the stem that is equal or smaller than 90 degrees. A center of mass of the cap is on the longitudinal axis.
