Coagulation forceps (1) with a hollow shaft (2) and with a fixed forceps leg (3), set at an angle in reference to the hollow shaft (2) and provided with a gripping surface (3a) are provided, having a forceps leg (6) pivotally mounted in reference thereto at a pivot support (4). At the exterior or bottom side facing away from the pivotal forceps leg (6), a hollow profile (8) is provided for stiffening or reinforcing it, which has a mouth or entry opening (10) at the distal end of its interior longitudinal caving (9), i.e. is open and leads to a suction connection (12) so that suction can be applied via the hollow profile (8) in the distal end region of this forceps leg (3).
