Abstract

The application relates to a medical instrument with a hollow shaft, at the proximal end a handle is arranged, and at the distal end a tool with two jaw parts is arranged, of which at least one jaw part is pivotable, wherein the distal end is configured as a tool tip that can be deflected, and the tool tip is rotatable, wherein the rotation of the tool tip is effected via a first actuation element which is operatively connected at the proximal end to the handle, and wherein the deflection of the tool tip is effected via a second actuation element which is operatively connected to the handle, and wherein the at least one pivotable jaw part is adjustable between a closed position and an open position via a pull/push element. The pull/push element is mounted eccentrically in the tool tip and parallel to the longitudinal axis.
