ABSTRACT:
A tool is secured to a tube of a tubular-handled surgical instrument via a tool holder. An actuator is fitted in the tube and is movable longitudinally therein to move the tool. The tool holder has an extension which can be inserted into the tube. At its end surrounding the extension, the tube has radially movable components which, when pushed in, secure the extension by a frictional or force fit against axial movement in the tube. When radially pulled out, the fit is broken and the extension can be axially extracted from the tube.
