The invention relates to a sonotrode for an ultrasonic surgical instrument. The sonotrode comprises a shaft (4) and an instrument head (5), which is located at a distal end of the shaft (4). A removal structure (6) is arranged on the instrument head (5). A channel (15, 16) extends inside the shaft (4) from an outlet opening (7) on the instrument head (5) to a channel opening (12). According to the invention, the channel opening (12) is arranged in the circumferential surface of the sonotrode (1). Provision is additionally made that, in the area of the channel opening (12), an attachment part (9) with a liquid connection is provided. By virtue of an attachment part (9) being provided in the area of the channel opening (12), a rinse hose (8) can be connected directly to the liquid connection of the attachment part (9), such that the hand part (2) no longer comes into contact with the rinsing liquid. The cleaning work is thereby reduced. |
