Abstract

An instrument, particularly a medical endoscopic instrument or technoscope, includes a shank (2) and an instrument head (6). The instrument head includes at least one joint part (12) articulated on the distal shank end in an angularly bendable manner and a tool carrier (14) which at the distal side is articulated on the joint part (12) in an angularly bendable manner in the angular bending plane of the joint part (12). A toothing is meshed with a toothed body (26) rotatably mounted in the shank (2) and is coupled in movement to a pull cable pair for the movement control of the instrument head (6). The toothing is formed at the proximal end of the joint part (12).
