The invention relates to a tissue fusion instrument for use in the surgical field. Such a tissue fusion instrument is known, which comprises two gripping structures that can be moved relative to each other, are designed for gripping and bringing together biological tissue sections, and are paired with heat generating means designed such that a tissue fusion is produced between the biological tissue sections by supplying heat in the region of the gripping structures. According to the invention, at least one gripping structure is paired with a fluid conducting system which is designed to supply at least one liquid or flowable additive to the tissue sections during a tissue fusion process. The tissue fusion instrument is used in the field of medical technology. |
