Abstract: A handle for a medical instrument includes an actuation element, which is arranged on the handle and which is displaceable into at least a first and a second functional position. The actuation element can be moved in a plane transverse to its displacement direction, in each of the first and second functional positions, for carrying out a function. A pivotable actuation lever is arranged in the handle, the actuation lever being coupled in movement to the actuation element for displacing the actuation element into the at least two functional positions.

Abstract: A colpotransilluminator is provided for arrangement on a uterus manipulator, wherein the colpotransilluminator is designed in a sleeve-shaped manner of an elastic material. The colpotransilluminator at a distal first axial end forms a portio receiver and at a proximal second end forms a vaginal seal. In a central region between the first and the second axial ends, the colpotransilluminator is designed in a waist-shaped manner and includes axially extending stretch folds in the region of the waist. A uterus manipulator is also provided with such a colpotransilluminator.

This tool is rotatable relative to the shank. An actuation element is arranged on the handle. The actuation element may be moved into at least two switch positions, wherein in a first switch position the actuation element is coupled in movement to the shank and in a second switch position the actuation element is coupled in movement to the tool.

Abstract: An instrument, particularly a medical endoscopic instrument or technoscope, includes a shank (2) and an instrument head (6) which is arranged at a distal shank end. The instrument head (6) is bendable relative to the shank and includes a tool with two jaw parts (12, 14) which can be pivoted relative to one another. The instrument head (6), for controlling bending, is coupled in movement to at least one actuation rod (26). The actuation rod (26) is displaceably guided in the shank (2) in a shank longitudinal direction. For the control of the tool, the two jaw parts (12, 14) are coupled in movement to at least one pull cable which is led through the shank (2) to a proximal instrument end.

Abstract: A stereo-endoscope is provided having a hollow shank with two axially parallel optical channels, which channels run through the hollow shank and respectively form at least a section of an image path to respective oculars of a binocular observation device arranged on the proximal end of the hollow shank. Moreover, the stereo-endoscope includes a camera connection, and one of the optical channels also forms at least one section of an image path to the camera connection.

Abstract: A uterus manipulator includes a shank, in which a hollow probe is guided, whose distal end section is envisaged and designed for introduction into a uterus through the cervical canal. A handle is provided on the proximal side. A distally open bell and a vaginal seal, arranged proximally displaced thereto, as well as a suction channel which connects to at least one suction opening in the distal end section, are provided for receiving a cervix. The bell is designed as a suction bell, wherein at least one suction channel runs into the bell.

Abstract: A trocar sleeve includes a distal tubular section, a section which connects to the distal tubular section at a proximal side of the distal tubular section and which is widened proximally, and at least one spiral with a circular outer contour, arranged helically on a periphery of the distal tubular section. The distal tubular section includes a rounded polygonal cross section so that maximal degrees of freedom of the applied instruments result.

Abstract: A medical instrument has a handle arranged at the proximal end, a shank extending distally proceeding from the handle, and a movable jaw part arranged at the distal end of the shank. The shank is designed to be rigid and includes at least one proximal bend region and at least one distal bend region, in which the extension direction of the shank changes. A section of the shank in which the distal bend region is situated may be rotated about the longitudinal axis relative to a section of the shank in which the proximal bend region is situated. The jaw part is rotatable relative to the shank about its distal longitudinal axis at the distal end.

Abstract: The rigid endoscope has a shank-like middle part, on which a handle connects on a proximal side and which on a distal side includes a distal part with an optics window. The handle is arranged offset or obliquely to a longitudinal axis of the middle part, as well as of the distal part, in order to provide free space in the region of the handle of the working instrument as well as on the distal side of the tool.

Abstract: A medical needle holder is provided having a handle arranged at the proximal end and a needle receiver arranged at the distal end. The needle receiver has a first and a second clamping surface, which clamping surfaces face toward each other and extend in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of the holder. The clamping surfaces are movable relative to each other via the handle, in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the holder.
