Embodiment Construction

[0048] In the following description the same reference numerals are used for the same parts and parts functioning in the same way.

[0049] figure 1 A general overview of an embodiment of a tubular shaft instrument according to the invention is provided. It shows three functional parts of the cannula instrument: the handle 110 , the slightly elongated cannula 24 , and the tool head 30 disposed on the distal end of the cannula 24 . The tool head 30 provides the actual function of the shaft instrument. The tool head is used to cut and / or coagulate tissue. The handle 110 controls the movement of the tool head 30 . Specifically, the mouthpiece 10, 10' (see figure 2 ) close and open to fix, coagulate, and cut tissue.

[0050] figure 2 An embodiment of a tool head 30 according to the invention is shown, comprising a first mouthpiece 10 and a second mouthpiece 10'. The first mouthpiece 10 is an ellipsoid having, on its side facing the tube axis 24 , an adapter 25 rigidl...

Abstract

The invention relates to tubular shaft instruments, which are provided with a handle, a tubular shaft and a tool head. The tool head usually has two mouth parts, which can be displaced in relation to one another for gripping and fixing tissue. The disadvantages of the articulations used for this purpose are that they block access to the mouth parts from the inside of the tubular shaft to the outside, that they are not sufficiently stable and can only be operated with low leverage. The invention thus discloses a slotted guide system for forming the articulation, said system having a virtual fulcrum outside the tubular shaft instrument. The invention not only eradicates the aforementioned problems but also simplifies the seizure of tissue.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tubular shaft instrument according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] In modern medicine, an attempt is generally made to keep damage to intact tissue to a minimum. Therefore, minimally invasive surgery is often the preferred method for surgical intervention when circumstances permit. The small incisions and minimal trauma to the tissue result in less postoperative pain and allow for quicker recovery and mobility. The same applies to laparoscopic surgery during complex procedures performed in the abdominal cavity. [0003] This type of surgery, and the instruments required for it, present special challenges to medical device manufacturers, since most surgical steps are performed in very confined spaces and without direct visual contact. The medical devices used must therefore not only be able to operate in the smallest of spaces but also must function so reliably that no visual monitoring is require...
