A forceps serves in particular for excising myomas located intramurally in the uterus and including a forceps jaw having two branches which are pivotable about a common axis in a working plane for opening and closing the forceps jaw and which bear against one another with structured gripping surfaces with a closed, empty forceps jaw. The branches are each provided over a part of their length with a tooth-shaped back profile and a longitudinal cutting blade on their outer back sides lying opposite the gripping surfaces.

Forceps for dissecting free tissue in body cavities

A hysteroscope for carrying out endoscopic operations in the uterus by way of an auxiliary instrument, consists of an inner shank and an outer shank surrounding the inner shank whilst forming a longitudinal channel, of a first fitting for supplying rinsing fluid to be supplied through the inner shank into the uterus and of a second fitting for removing rinsing fluid from the uterus via the longitudinal channel. Furthermore there are provided a third fitting on which the auxiliary instrument is introducable into the hysteroscope and is further distally movable through a working channel, and deflection means with which the distal end region of the auxiliary instrument is elastically laterally deflectable. In the distal end region of the hysteroscope there is provided a first ramp on which, sliding up, the distal end of the auxiliary instrument moved distally through the hysteroscope is deflectable, in order with a further distal movement of the auxiliary instrument to bring its distal end region into a first position. With the help of a pivotable deflection element the distal end region of the auxiliary instrument is deflected into a second position beyond the first position.
