  • Surgical instrument
    Publication number: 20040138528
    Abstract: A surgical instrument is disclosed, preferably for the minimally invasive intervention in human or animal tissues comprising a, for example, needle-shaped base body (3) with at least one passage formed from a hollow fiber (2). The at least one hollow fiber (2) is surrounded by a matrix (5) of a fibre composite material. The use of hollow fiber (2) permits a simple production in particular of instruments with a number of passages. The use of more than one hollow fiber (2) within the base body (3) increases the application possibilities, for example, simultaneous monitoring and treatment of the tissue.
