Forceps for endoscopic surgery comprising an instrument which can be inclined

Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns the field of endoscopic surgery and it relates to forceps which are intended for operative coelioscopy. These forceps comprise a handle (2) which has annular branches, of which one (4) is movable and is mounted pivotably on the other (6) which provides support, this handle (2) being integral with an elongate body (8) for the purpose of manoeuvring, respectively, the jaws of an instrument (10), one jaw (16) of which is movable and is mounted pivotably on the other jaw (18) which provides support. These forceps are principally characterised in that the instrument (10) can be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis (38) of the body (8), the inclination of the instrument resulting from the pivoting on the body (2) of the support jaw (18); the pivot axis (32) of the support jaw (18) on the body (2) and the pivot axis (30) of the movable jaw (16) on the support jaw (18) coincide.
