Abstract
A ancillary handle includes: a gripping part of the ancillary handle, a receiving part having an elongate seat for the shank, and a locking device for locking the shank and fixing the surgical instrument to the ancillary handle. A locking part engages in a groove on the outer surface of the shank. The locking part translates between: iii) a locking configuration, in which the locking part engages in the groove and blocks the surgical instrument, and iv) an unlocking configuration, in which the locking part frees the shank. The locking device includes an actuation part for moving the locking part between the locking and unlocking configurations.
