A medical instrument includes instrument parts which can be releasably connected to one another. One part includes a hollow-cone-shaped receiving space and another part includes a cone-shaped coupling section which can be inserted into the receiving space to connect the parts. The coupling section includes a locking receiver for a locking element of the receiving space and which can be brought into and out of engagement with the locking receiver. A securing element moves between a position holding the locking element in a locking position, and a position releasing the locking element. An actuation element projects into the receiving space of the first instrument part, engages into the locking receiver in the locking position of the locking element and is movable in the direction of its middle axis. The middle axis of the actuation element is aligned in the proximal direction obliquely to a middle axis of the receiving space.

Medical instrument

An endoscopic instrument includes a shank () having at least one guide channel () for a laser probe (), and a flexible narrowing provided in a section of the guide channel () connecting to its distal end. The flexible narrowing allows a clear diameter of the guide channel () to be changed in at least one direction.

Endoscopic instrument

A medical instrument has an instrument insert and an instrument handle, which are detachably connected to one another. An actuation rod of the instrument insert is releasably connectable to a movable grip of the instrument handle via a locking connection. A blocking element is provided which blocks the movable grip when the actuation rod has been released.

A medical instrument has an instrument insert () and an instrument handle () which are detachably connected to one another via a locking connection. A grip () and a closure () are provided for securing the locking connection. The closure () may be moved into an unsecured position by movement of the grip () as well as independently of a movement of the grip ().

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.
