ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument is provided that comprises at least three, and preferably four forceps elements with hook-shaped distal sections having free ends and associated proximal sections that are connected to actuators for moving the distal sections. The distal sections are shaped and movably disposed in such a way that they can be brought together to form a single hook, which can be used in particular for blunt dissection, and can be combined in groups, for example groups of two, to form at least one pair of forceps which can be moved with respect to one another in order to grasp tissue or spread it apart. This design allows a single instrument to be used for many different dissection procedures.
