Abstract: A fixation device for fixing a first part of a surgical instrument to a second part of the surgical instrument. The fixation device has a longitudinal axis and includes a fixation body configured to accommodate a portion of the first instrument part and a portion of the second instrument part therein. A first fastening member and at least one movable first clamping member are configured to clampingly engage at least the first instrument part so as to fix at least the first instrument part to the fixation device. A first actuation member is configured to receive at least a portion of the fixation body. The first actuation member includes a second fastening member configured to engage with the first fastening member. The first actuation member is configured to exert a clamping force on the first clamping member when the second fastening member is in engagement with the first fastening member.

Abstract: A surgical arm is presented. The surgical arm comprises a first interface configured to receive a device for performing or assisting a surgical procedure and multiple adjustment members configured to adjust the surgical arm relative to a respective adjustment axis. The surgical arm further comprises at least two operating members configured to operate different ones of the adjustment members, wherein the operating members are marked with different visual codings. Further a method for providing visual guidance for operating the surgical arm according to a pre-determined surgical approach is presented.
