摘要

The micro gripping instrument with an endoscope for taking human tissue samples comprises an operating grip (1) and a Bowden cable unit (2) consisting of a flexible, axially slidable outer tube (4) and a flexible inner tube (9). The inner tube protrudes from the cover pipe and terminates in spring loaded gripper jaws (11). An endoscope (13) is axially slidable into the inner tube so that its head (14) is located in the zone (3) of the gripper jaws.
