Abstract
The application relates to a medical instrument with a hollow shaft, with a handle at the proximal end and a tool with two jaw parts at the distal end, of which at least one jaw part is pivotable, wherein a distal end region of the shaft is configured as a deflectable, rotatable tool tip, and wherein the jaw parts are adjustable between closed and open positions, wherein rotation of the tool tip and actuation of the jaw parts take place via actuation elements coupled at the proximal end to the handle. The distal end of the shaft and the proximal end of the tool tip are arc-shaped, and roll on each other for the deflection of the tool tip, and are conveyed from the shaft into the deflectable tool tip via at least two identical joints, which are connected in series and which can transmit rotation and translatory movements.
