Abstract
A medical instrument with a proximal instrument part and a distal instrument part that are connected with one another by an elongated shaft. The distal instrument part includes a pivot element that is mounted to pivot with respect to the shaft and that can pivot by a translationally moveable actuation element. The pivot element is coupled with the actuating element by a coupling element, so that the coupling element is in a hinged connection with the pivot element by a first hinged connection and with the actuation element by a second hinged connection. The second hinged connection is controlled by at least one nonlinear guide formed by the distal instrument part in such a way that the pivot element can pivot both in the one pivot direction and in the other pivot direction. The actuating element is configured to be suitable for control by the nonlinear guide.
