Abstract
A manually actuated function hose instrument has a hose-shaped function part and a wire-shaped function part extending in the latter, wherein the two function parts are axially movable relative to each other in order to exert a useful function at a distal section remote from a proximal end section. An associated operating device, which has two operating parts, is arranged at the proximal end section of the function parts. A fixing part is provided which serves for the external fixing of the operating device and with which the second operating part is coupled in an axially relatively movable manner, and/or the second operating part is connected non-releasably to the proximal end section of the hose-shaped function part and contains an operating ring with a circumferential finger recess as operating area.
