Abstract

There is disclosed a rack with receptacles for medical forceps. The forceps comprise a forceps jaw at the distal end of a shank and a handle with two scissor type grips which can be spread apart for opening the forceps jaw. To each of the receptacles arranged parallel to one another, in each case, there are allocated two grip supports fixing the grips in their spread apart position, a shank support for the shank and two lateral supports for the handle. This achieves the object that after the insertion into the rack has been effected, the opened forceps jaw parts cannot close.
