Medical gripping tool
View Patent ↗In a medical gripping tool with several branches, one branch includes a first flexurally elastic spar, a second flexurally elastic spar, of which the distal end is connected to the distal end of the first flexurally elastic spar, a rib, which is spaced apart from the proximal ends and from the distal ends of the flexurally elastic spars, and a linear guide for coupling the second flexurally elastic spar to the rib, in such a way that a linear movement of the second flexurally elastic spar relative to the rib is possible.
1. A medical gripping tool with a plurality of branches, wherein one branch comprises:
a first flexurally elastic spar;
a second flexurally elastic spar having a distal end that is connected to a distal end of the first flexurally elastic spar;
a rib, which is spaced apart from proximal ends of the first and second flexurally elastic spars and from the distal ends of the first and second flexurally elastic spars; and
a linear guide coupling the second flexurally elastic spar to the rib, in such a way that a linear movement of the second flexurally elastic spar relative to the rib is possible.
2. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the rib and the first flexurally elastic spar are connected rigidly to each other.
3. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the linear guide comprises a recess in the rib, the second flexurally elastic spar being guided displaceably in the recess in a longitudinal direction of the second flexurally elastic spar.
4. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the linear guide comprises an eyelet in which the second flexurally elastic spar is guided displaceably in a longitudinal direction of the second flexurally elastic spar.
5. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of ribs are provided, the ribs are spaced apart from the proximal ends of the first and second flexurally elastic spars and from the distal ends of the first and second flexurally elastic spars and from each other, wherein on each of the plurality of ribs a linear guide is provided which permits a movement of the second flexurally elastic spar relative to the ribs.
6. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a fluting on the first flexurally elastic spar.
7. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first flexurally elastic spar at least comprises either two flexurally elastic rods or a component having one or more of a strip-shape or a plate-shape.
8. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a spacer sleeve on the first flexurally elastic spar, the spacer sleeve defining a distance of the rib from the proximal end of the first flexurally elastic spar or a distance of the rib from the distal end of the first flexurally elastic spar or a distance of the rib from a further rib.
9. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first flexurally elastic spar, the second flexurally elastic spar and the rib are at least partially encapsulated by an elastic material.
10. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a hinge between the proximal end of a branch and a main body.
11. The medical gripping tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a mechanism for moving the proximal end of the first flexurally elastic spar or the proximal end of the second flexurally elastic spar.
12. A medical instrument comprising:
a medical gripping tool having a plurality of branches;
wherein one branch of the plurality of branches comprises
a first flexurally elastic spar;
a second flexurally elastic spar having a distal end that is connected to a distal end of the first flexurally elastic spar;
a rib, which is spaced apart from proximal ends of the first and second flexurally elastic spars and from the distal ends of the first and second flexurally elastic spars; and
a linear guide coupling the second flexurally elastic spar to the rib, in such a way that a linear movement of the second flexurally elastic spar relative to the rib is possible.
13. The medical gripping tool of claim 1 , wherein the linear guide is provided on the rib.
14. The medical gripping tool of claim 12 , wherein the linear guide is provided on the rib.
