SURGICAL INSTRUMENT FOR HYSTERECTOMY

摘要

A surgical instrument for hysterectomy, which includes a C-shaped body, the cantilevered sections thereof forming a gap open on one side to accommodate the uterine portion being excised, a locking bar adapted to interact with the ends of the cantilevered body sections, and a knife. The knife is free to move along the guide slots of the body and the locking bar in the direction from one of the cantilevered body sections to the other, one of said cantilevered body sections serving as a support for the knife during cutting. The knife has the shape of a hollow right truncated trihedral prism, wherein the edges of the faces that overlook the knife-supporting body section are cutting edges adapted to interact with the correspondingly-shaped faces of said supporting section. One of the knife faces is lanceolate in shape when viewed from above, its pointed end being advanced with respect to the cutting edges of other two knife faces.
