Abstract: The invention relates to a laryngoscope spatula with a spatula blade. The spatula blade, in cross section, has two side walls, which are spaced apart from each other along at least part of the length of the spatula blade, and two limbs. A first limb extends from the first side wall to beyond the second side wall, and a second limb extends from the second side wall to beyond the first side wall. The side walls and the limbs thus form a cavity. The spatula blade is composed of an upper shell and a lower shell which, in cross section, each have a first portion and two mutually oppositely directed second and third portions. The second portions of the upper shell and lower shell, lying flat on each other, form the first limb, and the third portions, lying flat on each other, form the second limb, while the first portions form the side walls. The invention further relates to a method for producing a spatula blade of such a laryngoscope spatula.

Abstract: A medical instrument for electrosurgery comprises a tubular shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, at least one jaw part arranged at the distal end of the shaft and movable relative to the tubular shaft about a pivot axis, at least one electrode arranged at the at least one jaw part, and at least one current supply line leading to the at least one electrode and designed as a wire-shaped element, a distal end of which being connected to the at least one electrode, the wire-shaped element being configured as a loop in the region of the pivot axis.

Abstract: A medical instrument for dissecting tissue in the human or animal body comprises a shaft. At least one movable tool is arranged at a distal end of the shaft. At least one movable grip element is arranged at a proximal end of the shaft. A force transmission element extends along the shaft, which force transmission element is movable relative to the latter and transmits thrust and/or tension forces and whose proximal end is non-positively joined to the at least one movable grip element and whose distal end is non-positively joined to the at least one movable tool. The shaft is further provided with a bend at least one point between the distal end and the proximal end. The force transmission element is configured, at least in the region of the bend, as a flexible tubular element conforming to the bend, which is guided in contact with the shaft.

Abstract: A stand aid is provided with at least one sitting surface that is arranged on a support frame and can be adjusted between a load-free rest position and at least one sitting position in which it is subjected to the load of a user, whereby adjustment is carried out by the support frame which automatically readjusts the sitting surface back into the rest position by a resetting mechanism as soon as the load of the sitting surface is removed. The aim of the present disclosure is to provide a stand aid that takes over as much of the strain of standing as possible. To this end, the support frame is provided with a pivoting mechanism, can be anchored at a bottom and is provided with at least one support leg. The support frame rests on the support leg in the sitting position in order to receive the vertical forces and define the adjusting angle at the bottom.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stand aid with at least one sitting surface (4) that is arranged on a support frame (1) and can be adjusted between a load-free rest position (R) and at least one sitting position (S) in which it is subjected to the load of a user, whereby adjustment is carried out by means of the support frame (1) which automatically readjusts the sitting surface (4) back into the rest position (R) by means of a resetting mechanism as soon as the load of the sitting surface (4) is removed. The aim of the invention is to provide a stand aid that takes over as much of the strain of standing as possible. To this end, the support frame (1) is provided with a pivoting mechanism, can be anchored at a bottom (3) and is proved with at least one support leg (1c). The support frame (1) rests on said leg in the sitting position (S) in order to receive the vertical forces and define the adjusting angle at the bottom (3).

Abstract: A medical tubular-shaft instrument has an elongated tubular shaft, at least one movable tool at the distal end, furthermore at least one movable grip element at the proximal end, and lastly an elongated force transmitting element. A distal end of the force transmitting element is operatively connected to the at least one tool and a proximal end of the force transmitting element to the at least one movable grip element. The force transmitting element extends through the tubular shaft. The force transmitting element, at least in its region extending through the tubular shaft and at least locally, reaches radially at at least three circumferential points as far as an inner wall of the tubular shaft and between the three circumferential points has a clearance from the inner wall, and in its remaining segments extending through the tubular shaft has a clearance from the inner wall at least over part of its circumference.
