Abstract

The present invention relates to a medical instrument. Since, in the case of instruments operated by gripping disks, a conventional spring preloading has not been adequate for an effective closing movement, an improvement is proposed here. This consists of so articulating a front gripping disk to an instrument member that, through a manually applied axially rearward movement of the gripping disk, the instrument members are closed.
