Abstract
A shaft and a handheld surgical device with which an optical unit and an access article may be positioned in a simple and reliable way in the shaft. This is achieved in that at least one web, through which an optical unit is directed from the proximal end of the shaft into a bore of a shaft tip, is arranged on an inner wall of a shaft. The at least one web is configured in such a way that the distal tip of the optical unit is guided into the bore when the optical unit is inserted into the shaft, specifically regardless of the shape of the cross section of the shaft.
