摘要

The instrument (1) has a shaft (2), and a tool head (4) comprising radially outwardly pivotable segments (5) and arranged at a distal end of the shaft. A handle (3) is arranged at a proximal end of the shaft, where the handle and the head are connected with one another over an operating element (7) such that the segments of the head are adjustable between a closed position and a radially outwardly pivotable working position. A distal end (8) of the operating element projects over the segments of the head in a distal direction, and covered with a plastic casing.
