Abstract:
1. A manipulating tool for a medical implant, comprising: an actuating rod defining a central longitudinal axis and having a front end and a rear end; a grip part fixed on said rear end of said actuating rod; a fixing element at said front end of said actuating rod, for releasably axially fixing the implant, said fixing element having at least two clamping jaws spaced at a radial distance from said central longitudinal axis of said actuating rod and, relative to an imaginary cylinder surface extending coaxially with said central longitudinal axis, mutually spaced apart in a peripheral direction, for respectively engaging behind at least one counter element on the implant; a locking device for rotationally locking the manipulating tool to the implant, said locking device including at least one locking element held in a rotationally fixed connection with said actuating rod and held axially displaceably on said actuating rod between a front position, defining an operating position thereof, and a rear position, defining a position of repose thereof, and said at least one locking element being configured for engaging with a stop surface of the implant in a rotationally fixed manner, said locking device including a hollow tube enclosing said actuating rod and being axially displaceable thereon, said hollow tube having a front end carrying said at least one locking element fixedly connected thereto; and said clamping jaws having outer edges facing away from said central longitudinal axis and disposed at a common radial distance from a circle circumscribing said clamping jaws, said common radial distance being constant irrespective of said locking element being in the operating position or the position of repose.
