MEDICAL GRIPPING INSTRUMENT AND METHOD FOR USING THIS MEDICAL GRIPPING INSTRUMENT
The invention relates to a medical gripping instrument, especially for use in microlaryngoscopy, comprising a longitudinal extended shaft (2) on whose distal end a pincer part (3) is arranged which can be moved between a closed and an opened position. A handle (5) consisting of a fixed handle part (6a) and of a handle part (6b) that can pivot in relation to the fixed handle part (6a) is arranged on the proximal end of said shaft. The pincer part (3) is moved via a push/pull rod (8) which is mounted in the shaft (2) and which is connected to the pivotal handle part (6b). The gripping instrument also comprises a spreading part (4) which can be tilted from the shaft (2). The aim of the invention is to create a gripping instrument of the aforementioned type which, in addition to having a simple construction and being easy to manipulate, ensures the protection of the tissue that is to be treated with care. To this end, the invention provides that the spreading part (4) which can be tilted from the shaft (2) is, in addition to the pincer part (3), arranged on the distal end of the shaft (2) and can be tilted from the shaft (2) within a plane in a manner that is approximately perpendicular to the plane of movement of the pincer part (3).
