Abstract
A medical instrument for diagnostic, therapeutic, or surgical measures in a cavity in the body of a patient may include a proximal region, which is provided and designed for arrangement outside the body, a distal region, which is provided and designed for arrangement inside a cavity in the body, a supply structure for delivering a fluid to the cavity, wherein the supply structure reaches from a first coupling in the proximal region of the medical instrument to an outlet in the distal region, and a discharge structure for discharging a fluid from the cavity, wherein the discharge structure reaches from an inlet in the distal region of the medical instrument to a second coupling in the proximal region of the medical instrument. The flow resistance of the supply structure is greater than the flow resistance of the discharge structure.
