Abstract

Ablation instrument (2) is provided for cutting, fragmenting and/or removing material of an object (15), containing a carrier substrate (10), having at least one resistance-heated layer (12) which is disposed on the substrate (10) and made of doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) and also at at least one electrical lead and at least one electrical discharge which are both electrically connected at different places by the resistance-heated layer (12).
