ABSTRACT:
A medical forceps (10) for removal of tissue from the human or animal body, has two jaw parts at the end nearest the patient which can be moved relative to one another via grip elements at the end remote from the patient, said jaw parts having blades which coact in cutting fashion as said jaw parts are closed. There is releasably mountable on at least one of said jaw parts an adapter which has a blunt support surface, extending at least over a portion of said one jaw part on which it is mountable, which braces in planar fashion against said other jaw part as said jaw parts are closed when said adapter is mounted, so that said blades can no longer coact in cutting fashion as said jaw parts are closed. In a medical forceps whose jaw parts butt against one another in blunt fashion upon closing in order to grasp tissue, there is releasably mounted on at least one of said jaw parts an adapter which has an edge or a blade which, as said jaw parts are closed, coacts in cutting fashion with an edge of the other jaw part or with a blade of a second adapter releasably mounted on said other jaw part.
