Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A treatment device equipped with high frequency capability includes a pair of clasping jaws that serves as bipolar electrodes. Another treatment device equipped with high frequency capability includes a high-frequency knife that serves as monopolar electrode. An anti-fouling coating that minimizes or prevents adhesion of cauterized tissues is incorporated on the electrode surfaces. Durability and functioning of the anti-fouling coating is improved by one or a combination of increased coating thickness, increased density of the coating, and incorporation of glass and/or high molecular weight PFPE into the coating. The anti-fouling coating can be applied to different locations of the treatment portion, e.g., an insulated portion and a recess of an electrode, an insulated portion and a boundary portion with an electrode.
