Abstract
A medical forceps has an elongated body, two handle elements at one side and two jaw parts at the other side of said elongated body. Actuating means serve for actuating said two jaw parts responsive to the movement of the two handle elements. The actuating means are designed in that within a first range of movement of said handle elements, said two jaw parts are pivoted together, and within a second range of movement of said handle elements, one of said two jaw parts is moved relative to the other one of said two jaw parts.
