<p>In a surgical instrument with two legs movable relative to each other, a tip inserted in a receiving space at the distal end of the leg being exchangeably held at the free end of the legs, with a fixing device for releasable fixation to the leg, the fixing device comprising on one of the two parts two locking arms which are arranged next to each other and are elastically bendable apart, and comprising on the other one of the two parts a locking projection extending into the leg transversely to the direction of insertion of the tip, the locking projection, when inserting the tip into the receiving space of the leg, engaging between the two locking arms, bending these elastically apart, and at the end of the inserting movement, entering a recess on the inner side of the locking arms, so that the locking arms approach each other again after they have been elastically bent apart, in order to simplify the structure and, in particular, to reduce soiling and risk of injury, it is proposed that the receiving space widen in the proximal direction from its insertion end.</p> |
