Abstract

The invention relates to a surgical instrument, in particular a sliding shaft instrument, with a main part, and a moveable part relative thereto, with a handle attached to the main part, comprising a fixed grip and a grip actuating the moveable part, with at least one guide, through which, in relation to the main part, the moveable part is moveable between an initial position and a working position, and with a sliding surface attached to the movable part and pointing towards the main part, the sliding surface being slid along a guide surface attached to the main part and pointing towards the sliding surface, with at least the sliding surface or the guide surface are assigned to each other for the formation of a washable gap.

Claims (17)

1. Surgical instrument, in particular a sliding shaft instrument, comprising

a main part and a relative moveable part,

with a handle arranged on the main part, the former having a fixed grip and a grip for actuating the moveable part,

with at least one guide through which the moveable part relative to the main part is moveable between an initial position and a working position, and

the moveable part is guided at the distal end with a hinge joint,

the moveable part having a sliding surface pointing to the main part,

the sliding surface being slidable along the guide surface pointing to the sliding surface and arranged on the main part, whereby

the sliding surface and the guide surface are arranged at least partially with each other for the formation of a washable gap,

at least one of the sliding surface and the guide surface is opened by a recess extending transversely across the longitudinal extent of the main part and moveable part and

the recess is formed by two elevations arranged neighboring each other, in at least one of truncated cone form, hemispherical form, and crescent segment form.

2. Surgical instrument according to claim 1 , whereby on an external side of the main part or the moveable part, or on an external side of the main part and the external side of the moveable part, a bevel is provided bordering the guide surface or sliding surface, which is sloped in at least portions to the longitudinal centre line of the main part and the moveable part.

3. Surgical instrument according to claim 1 , whereby a bevel is provided on each external side of the main part and the moveable part, bordering the sliding surface or bordering the guide surface.

4. Surgical instrument according to claim 1 , whereby at least one recess or a bevel borders a guide.

5. Surgical instrument according to claim 4 , whereby the bevel is constructed mirror-symmetrically about the longitudinal centre line of the moveable part and main part, or mirror-symmetrically about the gap.

6. Surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed by two elevations arranged neighboring each other in truncated cone form.

7. Surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed by two elevations arranged neighboring each other in hemispherical form.

8. Surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the recess is formed by two elevations arranged neighboring each other in crescent segment form.
