Abstract:
Surgical, tubular-shafted instrument comprising a shaft, an operating rod mounted for displacement in the shaft, a handle part for actuating the operating rod and connecting means connecting the handle part and the shaft detachably to one another, wherein the shaft is securable in an axial direction in an inner sleeve of the handle part by means of a locking member displaceable radially in the inner sleeve and dipping into a recess of the shaft, the radial outward movement of said locking member being limited by a stop element displaceable into a position releasing the radial outward movement of the locking member, and wherein holding means are provided for fixing the stop element in a release position, said holding means being acted upon by the shaft in such a manner that this fixing is releasable due to displacement of the shaft in the inner sleeve, wherein the holding means comprise a holding element guided for displacement in the handle part outside the inner sleeve.
