Abstract

In order to make an improved securing of the plastic sheath on the holder possible in a surgical tubular-shafted instrument with a shaft, at the distal end of which at least one tool is arranged on a holder which, for its part, is secured in position on the shaft, and with a plastic sheath partially covering the holder, it is suggested that the plastic sheath engage at its edge beneath projections on the holder.
