MANUAL SURGICAL INSTRUMENT AND MAIN BODY FOR A MANUAL SURGICAL INSTRUMENT

Abstract

A main body for a manual surgical instrument and a manual surgical instrument, in which tools or access articles can be guided in a straightforward way through a channel, and by means of which at the same time a sufficiently large irrigation flow can be delivered through the channel. This is achieved in that two irrigation bores, which extend through a wall of a main body of a manual surgical instrument, are directed onto an upper region of a cross section of a channel running axially through the main body. In this case, the bores are arranged transversely with respect to the channel.

Description

Claims

1. A main body for a manual surgical instrument having a channel running axially through the main body for the passage of tools, an optical unit and/or access articles and having two irrigation bores for the connection of a respective irrigation connection, the irrigation bores extending from two opposite sides of the main body through a wall of the main body to the channel, wherein the irrigation bores are aligned with an upper region of a cross section of the channel.

2. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two irrigation bores form a non-180° angle with respect to one another.

3. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two irrigation bores form an angle of 175° to 90° with respect to one another.

4. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the two irrigation bores converge above the channel and form a space there.

5. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 4, wherein the space extends in the distal and/or proximal direction inside the main body, at least in sections along the channel.

6. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the channel has an elongate, a rod-shaped optical unit or an inner shaft being guidable through an upper region of the cross section, and access articles being guidable through a lower region of the cross section.

7. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein the irrigation bores open in the upper region of the cross section.

8. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein a lower region of the channel becomes larger in its cross section in the proximal direction of the main body in the manner of a funnel to form a recess for the purpose of introducing access articles.

9. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, comprising a distal end to which an outer tube, a shaft or the like can be coupled, and comprising a proximal end to which further components of the instrument can be coupled.

10. The main body for a manual surgical instrument as claimed in claim 1, wherein a bridge can be coupled to the proximal end of the main body the bridge comprising at least one channel for the passage of tools, an optical unit and/or access articles, and the bridge comprising a distal end side by way of which the channel, the space and the funnel-like recess of the working channel of the main body are bounded in the proximal direction.

11. A manual surgical instrument having a main body as claimed in claim 1.
