Abstract

A handle for a medical instrument having a handle housing and a connection adapter for hose and/or tube connections, which can be inserted into the handle housing. The connection adapter can be inserted fluid-tight into a corresponding support recess of the handle housing by at least one connection support and such that a surrounding ring groove for inserting a sealing element is positioned on the at least one connection support. It is proposed that at least two surrounding ring grooves, mounted one behind the other, should be configured on the connection support in the axial direction of the at least one connection support, such that the connection support has a constant outer diameter in the area of the at least two ring grooves and such that a sealing element, is positioned at least in the first ring groove, looking from the free end of the connection support.
