Abstract
The invention relates to a medical instrument for cutting biological and especially human tissue, having a hollow cutting tube that can rotate by means of an engine around its longitudinal axis, on whose distal end at least one blade is mounted, as well as with a handle in which the cutting tube is mounted for control purposes. In order to produce a medical instrument for cutting biological and especially human tissue in which the powering of the cutting tube is of simple construction and involves minor losses of capacity, it is proposed with the invention that the engine is configured as a hollow-shaft engine mounted on the cutting tube.
