A torque wrench () is embodied as a ratchet instrument in the medical field. A catch segment () which can be displaced in a defined manner is arranged on the periphery of the receiving opening, and the front part thereof is oriented towards the receiving opening. When the torque wrench () is actuated in a forward direction, the torque which is to be generated is applied by a forward force (F) exerted by an user, by a deflectable, preferably linear-elastic flexible arm (). A catch spring extends from the catch segment into the neck area. The catch segment and the catch spring form a single-pieced or several part catch (). The catch segment and the catch spring are arranged in a channel-shaped space (). The catch () is a single-piece with the neck part or is fixed thereto as a separate component.
