Abstract
A sterilizable disposable surgical instrument is formed by an implant for bone fusion as well as an implant sleeve surrounding the implant for bone fusion. The implant has a distal implant section, a proximal implant section, and a coupling section with a polygonal cross-section profile between the distal and proximal implant section. The implant sleeve has a protective cap and a handle, which can be connected to one another. A first bore is configured in the protective cap in the longitudinal direction and receives the proximal implant section of the implant. A second bore is configured in the handle running in the longitudinal direction and receives the distal implant section of the implant for bone fusion. A coupling region having a through-opening is configured in the second bore in the handle, into which the coupling section of the implant for bone fusion engages in an integral and force-locking manner.
