Device for actuation of a forceps of an endoscopic probe

Abstract

Abstract An operating unit (10) has accommodation components (11,12) for releasable securement of a grip part (4) of the probe (1). A drive unit in the operating unit provides controlled movement of a draw cord in the hollow probe (2) for operation of the grip mechanism (3). The probe grip part has two securing parts (7,8) for engagement in the accommodation components (11,12) of the operating unit. One of the accommodation components is mechanically coupled with the draw cord and the two components are movable to one another. The securing parts (7,8) are formed as grooves. The force of the grip mechanism (3) is adjustable between different values. The operating unit is fixed rotatably and possible height-adjustably on a frame-type retainer which incorporates a guide tube for the probe.
