Method and device for applying a cladding to the distal end of a surgical shaft instrument

摘要

The method involves fixing the casing (2) on a device for applying the casing on a distal end (3) of a surgical shaft instrument. The proximal end of the casing is radially expanded and the distal end of the surgical shaft instrument is inserted in the widened casing. The casing is transferred from the device to the distal end of the surgical shaft instrument. An independent claim is also included for a device for applying a casing on a distal end of a surgical shaft instrument, particularly a tool tip of a dilation instrument.
