Abstract

The invention relates to a surgical instrument (1) consisting of a basic element (2), which consists of a first handle part (3) and of a guiding element (4) connected to the handle part, wherein the guiding element extends axially from the handle element, and of a further handle part (5), which is disposed pivotably on the basic element, a sliding element (9f) with a proximal (p) and a distal (d) end, sliding back and forth on the guiding element along the axis thereof, wherein the sliding element is connected at its proximal end to a further handle part by means of a coupling element (11) and the coupling element comprises a driving part (12), which moves a connecting part (13) that corresponds to the driving part and is disposed on the sliding element, back and forth corresponding to the pivoting motion of the further handle part, as well as a functional element (10), which is coupled to the sliding element at the distal end. According to the invention, the following additional distinguishing features are provided: the further handle part (5) is disposed on the basic element (2) so that it cannot be lost, limiting means (16) are provided, which are formed at the proximal end (p) of the first handle part (3), the limiting means (16) are constructed in the form of sliders and are disposed displaceably in such a manner, that they limit the pivoting motion (arrow direction 7, 7') of the further handle part (5).
