An endoscope () includes an endoscope shaft (), with a distal shaft portion (), a central shaft portion () and a proximal shaft portion (), and a light admission face () at the distal shaft portion (). A cross section of the central shaft portion () is smaller than the cross section of the distal shaft portion () and smaller than the cross section of the proximal shaft portion ().

Three-way stopcock

A positioning system comprising a first working element having a first tubular shaft, a second working element having a second tubular shaft, an arcuate element having a holding element and an arcuate rail, wherein the arcuate rail is disposed on the holding element and the holding element is adapted to be fixed on the receiving section by means of a fastening element, and a guiding element having a holding section and a guiding section, wherein the holding section is guided on the rail and the guiding section receives the second shaft, the holding section having a locking element securing the guiding element to the rail, wherein the locking element in a locking position blocks displacement of the holding section in a transverse direction and in a release position allows displacement of the holding section in the transverse direction.

Positioning system

An endoscope having an endoscope shaft, with a distal shaft portion, a central shaft portion and a proximal shaft portion, and a light admission face at the distal shaft portion. The cross section of the central shaft portion is smaller than the cross section of the distal shaft portion and smaller than the cross section of the proximal shaft portion.

A trocar sleeve comprises a flexible hollow shaft comprising a distal end and a proximal end, and a handling head that is formed at the proximal end of the hollow shaft. The trocar sleeve is manufactured from an elastomer material. The hollow shaft comprises an inner contour that is adapted to an outer contour of a trocar mandrel in such a way that the trocar sleeve and the trocar mandrel are arranged to be coupled to one another while generating a defined preload to stabilize the trocar sleeve. A trocar system comprises a trocar sleeve and a trocar mandrel that is arranged to be inserted in the trocar sleeve, while generating a defined preloading in the trocar sleeve. A method of manufacturing a trocar sleeve involves integrally forming a hollow shaft and a handling head in a common mold by molding.

The invention relates to a surgical instrument system, which comprises a hollow shaft as well as a shaft-type instrument that can be inserted into the hollow shaft. To create a surgical instrument system that consists of a hollow shaft and of a medical instrument that can be inserted into the hollow shaft and that is both simple in construction and capable of a range of uses, it is proposed according to the invention that at least one cam that reduces the inside diameter of the hollow shaft should be positioned on the interior of the hollow shaft.

Surgical instrument system

A target apparatus for aligning a surgical drilling instrument that includes a pointer mechanism for arranging at a location on a bone where a drilled hole that is to be formed is intended to emerge, a guide mechanism for guiding the surgical drilling instrument, and an adjustable connection mechanism with a first end, which is connected to the guide mechanism, and a second end, which is connected to the pointer mechanism. The adjustable connection mechanism comprises a first component, a second component and a locking mechanism. The second component is movable relative to the first component along a predetermined path. The first component is elastically deformable by the locking mechanism such that the second component can be locked relative to the first component by clamping.

A sealing means for sealing an introduction facility for a medical instrument includes a first sealing membrane of an elastic material with a first slit and a second sealing membrane of an elastic material with a second slit. The first sealing membrane and the second sealing membrane abut laminarily on each other. The first sealing membrane and the second sealing membrane are arranged such that the first slit and the second slit are not parallel with each other. Each of the first slit and the second slit is unbranched.
