ABSTRACT:
Surgical instrument which has a main part (10) with a shaft (12) and a fixed handle part (14), on which a moveable handle part (20) is supported pivotably. The pivotable handle part (20) engages through a slit (18) of the main part (10) and is linked to a slider (16). The slider (16) is guided axially shifted on the shaft (12) so that it cannot be removed. At the proximal end of the work stroke the slider (16) can be removed from the guide and shaft. Spring tongue (50) arranged on the pivotable handle part (20) comes against the main part (10) when the handle parts (14, 20) are spread apart and prevents the slider (16) from entering the cleaning position in which it is released from the shaft (12). The spring tongue (50) can be pressed against the moveable handle part (20) in order to enter the slit (18) of the main part and to release the locking.
