A SURGICAL INSTRUMENT

摘要

An elongate surgical instrument (30) has a handle (60) towards a first end and functional features for use in a surgical procedure towards a second end. The instrument has a rest portion (66) which contacts a surface when the instrument is placed on that surface and which is rounded when the instrument is viewed along its length. The handle comprises a core (62), and a sheath (64) which fits over the core and defines the longitudinal axis of the handle. The centre of mass of the handle is offset relative to its axis.
