Abstract

A medical instrument includes a first hand lever which has a manually actuated grip portion at its proximal end, a work portion for gripping, clamping or cutting an object at its distal end, and, lying between these, a bearing portion on which a bearing element engages in order to permit pivotability about a rotation axis between the first hand lever and a second hand lever, wherein the second hand lever has a grip portion at its proximal end, a work portion at its distal end, and, lying between these, a guide portion on which the bearing element engages, wherein the guide portion of the second hand lever has on one side a recess for receiving the bearing portion of the first hand lever such that two guide protrusions located distally and proximally of the recess at least partially cover the bearing portion in an operating position.
