Abstract

A handle for a medical instrument having a handle housing that can be closed by a cover and having at least one drainage or irrigation hose in the handle housing that can be connected to a hose connection support. To create a handle that is of a simple construction and ensures a reliable fluid-proof insulated connection of the at least one hose and the hose connection support while protecting a material of the at least one hose, it is proposed that each drainage or irrigation hose should be connectable by an adaptor to the hose connection support and that the adaptor upon closing the handle housing can be pressed against the hose connection support by a stop positioned on the cover or on a base portion of the handle housing.

Claims (12)

1. A handle for a medical instrument having a handle housing that is closeable by means of a cover and having at least one drainage or irrigation hose in the handle housing for being connected to a hose connection support, wherein each drainage or irrigation hose being connectable to the hose connection support by means of one adaptor and, on closing the handle housing, the one adaptor is pressed against the hose connection support by means of a stop positioned on the cover or on a base portion of the handle housing and acting directly on the one adaptor, wherein the one adaptor is configured as a single adaptor adapted to connect two hoses to two hose connection supports.

2. The handle according to claim 1 , wherein the stop is configured as a stud that is formed to match the cover and point inward.

3. The handle according to claim 2 , wherein the adaptor is of an H-shaped configuration for connecting the two hoses to the two hose connection supports.

4. The handle according to claim 2 , wherein the adaptor is of a U-shaped configuration for connecting the two hoses to the two hose connection supports.

5. The handle according to claim 1 , wherein the adaptor is of an H-shaped configuration.

6. The handle according to claim 1 , wherein the adaptor is of a U-shaped configuration.

7. The handle according to claim 1 , wherein at least one insulation element can be secured on the adaptor for insulating with respect to the hose connection support.

8. The handle according to claim 7 , wherein at least one O-ring-insulation can be secured on the adaptor for insulating with respect to the hose connection support.

9. The handle according to claim 1 , wherein at least one insulation element can be secured on the hose connection support for insulating with respect to the adaptor.

10. The handle according to claim 9 , wherein at least one O-ring-insulation can be secured on the hose connection support for insulating with respect to the adaptor.

11. The handle according to claim 1 , wherein the adaptor consists of an insulation material for insulating with respect to the hose connection support.

12. The handle according to claim 11 , wherein the adaptor consists of silicon for insulating with respect to the hose connection support.
