Zusammenfassung: | The invention relates to a device (1) for transmitting a specified torque to a surgical tool, the device (1) comprising: a longitudinal shaft (2), to the front end (5) of which a surgical tool (7) is or can be fastened; a handle (9); a torque-transmitting unit (13) having a plurality of torque-limiting elements (14), which are arranged behind the other along the longitudinal axis (3) and connected to one another by means of respective predetermined breaking points (15), wherein: when a specified torque is exceeded, the rearmost torque-limiting element (14) is disconnected at the predetermined breaking point (15); and the shaft (2) comprises a loading apparatus (16), by means of which the torque-transmitting unit (13) can be slid axially, with respect to the longitudinal axis (3), against the rear end (4) of the shaft (2). The device (1) also comprises an insert (17), which, in the assembled state of the device (1), is inserted into the cavity (12) of the handle (9) and is releasably axially and rotationally fixed to the handle (9), the insert (17) comprising means (20) for connecting to the rearmost torque-limiting element (14) for conjoint rotation. |
