Abstract:
A medical device, and a ratchet for a medical device, include a torque-guiding element and a torque discharging element, between which a switchable toothed unit is arranged so that, in accordance with a switching position of the toothed unit, torque from the torque-guiding element is transferred to the torque discharging element, said toothed unit includes two torque transfer sleeves arranged in a nested manner and which are arranged and produced such that both can be brought into torque-transmitting contact with an intermediate sleeve.

Claim (Index 1):
A ratchet of a medical device comprising a torque-guiding/-input element which is arranged so as to be relatively rotatable around/with respect to a torque-discharging/-output element and, for torque transfer, is coupled to the torque-discharging/-output element via a toothed unit or transmission which forms a freewheel with selectable sense of rotation and has a first torque transfer sleeve which is coupled to/in the torque-guiding/-input element in a non-rotatable and axially fixed manner and a second torque transfer sleeve which is coupled to/in the torque-guiding/-input element so as to be rotationally fixed with the torque-guiding/-input element but axially movable, the first and second torque transfer sleeves comprising toothings that act in opposite directions, and which depending on a manually adjustable axial position of the second torque transfer sleeve can be selectively but alternately brought into meshing engagement with an intermediate sleeve which is arranged so as to be axially movable, is preloaded toward the toothings of the first and second torque transfer sleeves and is coupled to the torque-discharging/-output element for torque transfer.
