ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument is provided for manipulating a thread situated within a body, in particular a body cavity. It has a shaft with a handle on the proximal end of the shaft and two thread receivers on the distal end of the shaft. Each thread receiver is formed by an open guide at least partly surrounding the thread and which may consist of wire. The openings of the two thread receivers are arranged facing in opposite directions, so that the thread may be pulled as well as pushed using the instrument.
