Abstract
A pair of surgical forceps which can be taken apart and which includes a handle, a pivot joint with a rotational axis and a jaw. It further includes two releasably coupled forceps parts, each of which has a pin-less pivot joint element. The first pivot joint element has a first guide rail and a first guide recess. The second pivot joint element has a second guide rail and a second guide recess. The guide rails, which engage in an undercut of the guide recesses on the pivot joint elements, form a sliding guide for the pivot joint. The first pivot joint element has a first thickening element and the second pivot joint element has a second surface element. In a safety position the first thickening element interacts with the second surface element by means of jamming.
