Abstract:
1. A device for performing examinations and surgical interventions on a uterus, comprising: an approximately rod-shaped body having a proximal end and a distal end, an extension piece attached to the distal end of said rod-shaped body, said extension piece configured to be introduced in a cervical canal of a uterus, two adjustable jaw parts lying opposite one another for fixing of a cervical tissue between said extension piece and said two jaw parts, and an operating device for operating said two adjustable jaw parts, said operating device is operatively connected to said two jaw parts by a sliding sleeve, a turning of said operating device causes an axial displacement of said sliding sleeve along said rod-shaped body, said sliding sleeve being connected to two actuating elements each of which being connected at a distal end to a respective ring, each of said respective rings being pivotable about an axis extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of said rod-shaped body, each ring supporting one jaw part protruding distally from said ring, said rings being pivotable about a common axis, an axial displacement of said sliding sleeve causes a rotation of each ring about said common axis and thereby a lateral movement of said two jaw parts.
