ABSTRACT:
A surgical forceps assembly for endoscopic and especially arthroscopic interventions has a stem fitted at its distal end with a forceps with a fixed jaw and a pivotable jaw. The stem has at its proximal end an actuator and a force transmitting element passes through and is slidable in the stem. The proximal end of the force transmitting element is connected to and movable by the actuator and the distal end acts on a laterally projecting pin of a lever attached to the pivotable jaw to move the forceps between open and closed positions when the force-transmitting element is axially displaced. The distal end of the force-transmitting element has a coupling with an elongated slot and the lever pin passes through the elongated slot wherein it is received and guided in a cam relationship.
