ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument having miniature cutting and/or grasping elements at its distal end and having a proximal end portion detachably connected to an operating handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a pair of identical spring-loaded interfitting wing lock members which are capable of being cammed outwardly for readily accepting and coupling to the instrument's proximal end and which are constructed for securely retaining the instrument against accidental release. The handles of the assembly are spring-urged into neutral positions to insure proper positioning of such handles for quick coupling of the instrument and handle assembly.
