Abstract
In the case of an electrosurgical instrument, provision is made for a tool (), for the operation of which at least one, preferably two pull/thrust elements () and a sliding element () are required. The sliding element () is held between a pull/thrust element () and a thrust bearing, wherein the thrust bearing can be formed by means of a further pull/thrust element (). This arrangement utilizes the fact that the sliding element must only be activated, when the pull/thrust element is tensioned tightly. This concept of guiding the sliding element at the pull/thrust element provides for the simple design of instruments comprising long shafts, wherein separate measures for laterally reinforcing the sliding elements do not need to be taken.
