Abstract
A tool head for a surgical tool for knockout and/or insertion of prostheses is disclosed, comprising a tool body (10, 11, 12) having at least two clamping jaws (14, 14a, 14b, 14c, 15, 15a, 15b, 41) for clamping a prosthetic part, wherein at least one of the clamping jaws is mounted to be movable in relation to the tool body (10, 11, 12); wherein at least one of the movable clamping jaws has at least one pressure area (16), which is arranged so that applying a pressure to the pressure area (16) of the at least one clamping jaw causes a movement of the clamping jaws (14, 14a, 14b, 14c, 15, 15a, 15b, 41) toward one another or away from one another, to thereby clamp the prosthetic part between the holding areas of the clamping jaws.
