Zusammenfassung:A surgical tool-piece and a coupling mechanism for a surgical tool-piece are provided. The surgical tool-piece is configured to be driving by a driving mechanism. The surgical tool-piece comprises a shaft having a longitudinal axis running from a distal end of the shaft to a coupling portion at a proximal end of the shaft. The coupling portion comprises a driving section comprising at least three indentations located around the circumference of the coupling portion, each indentation being configured to receive a corresponding driving element of the driving mechanism to secure the tool-piece both longitudinally and rotationally.
