Abstract
A surgical instrument according to the invention, particularly a robot-guided surgical instrument, has a shaft end (), a tool holder (), which is mounted on the shaft end so as to be able to rotate about a yaw axis (G), and a tool () with a main lever (A), in particular a blade and/or jaw, which is mounted on the tool holder so as to rotate about a pitch axis (N), and a gear transmission with a drive wheel (), which is mounted on the tool holder so as to be rotatable about an input gear axis (G) by a driving means (), and, in force-fit and/or form-fit connection therewith, an output wheel (), which is mounted on the tool holder so as to rotate about an output gear axis (N) and by means of which the tool is rotatable about the pitch axis, or a wraparound transmission with a drive wheel, which is mounted on the tool holder so as to be rotatable about an input gear axis by a driving means, an output wheel, which is mounted on the tool holder so as to be able to rotate about an output gear axis and by means of which the tool is rotatable about the pitch axis, and two traction strands which are different from the drive means, are in particular connected and couple drive wheel and output wheel, or a differential transmission with an output wheel (A), which is mounted on the tool holder so as to be able to rotate about an output gear axis and by means of which the tool is rotatable about the pitch axis, wherein two traction strands are mutually offset in the direction of the output gear axis, in particular on both sides of the yaw axis, run in opposite directions from the output wheel and/or onto the output wheel and/or are both secured on the output wheel and/or are different from a driving means by which a drive wheel (), firmly or operatively connected to the tool holder, is rotatable about the yaw axis.
