Medical instrument with a tilting distal end

摘要

The invention relates to a medical instrument with a distal end piece which is connected to a holder running through a shank and on operation of a handle, can be adjusted from a rest position into an operating position by tilting relative to the longitudinal axis of the instrument. The end piece and the holder lie facing one another in a plane running inclined to the longitudinal axis of the instrument as well as perpendicular to it, and are connected with a fastening element which forms an axis perpendicular to said plane, about which the end piece is pivotable relative to the holder.
