Abstract: The invention relates to a medical gripping instrument, especially for use in microlaryngoscopy, comprising a longitudinal shaft on whose distal end a pincer part is arranged, which can be moved between a closed and an opened position. A handle consisting of a fixed handle part and of a handle part that can pivot in relation to the fixed handle part is arranged on the proximal end of said shaft. The pincer part is moved via a push/pull rod, which is mounted in the shaft and which is connected to a pivotal handle part. The gripping instrument also comprises a spreading part, which can be tilted from the shaft. The aim of the invention is to create a gripping instrument of the aforementioned embodiment, which is not only simple in its structure and easy to be manipulated, but also ensures a protection of the tissue to be preserved.

Abstract: The invention relates to a medical gripping instrument, especially for use in microlaryngoscopy, comprising a longitudinal shaft (2) on whose distal end a pincer part (3) is arranged, which can be moved between a closed and an opened position. A handle consisting of a fixed handle part (6a) and of a handle part (6b) that can pivot in relation to the fixed handle part (6a) is arranged on the proximal end of said shaft (2). The pincer part (3) is moved via a push/pull rod (8), which is mounted in the shaft (2) and which is connected to a pivotal handle part (6b). The gripping instrument also comprises a spreading part (4), which can be tilted from the shaft (2).
