Abstract

An opening system opens and/or unlocks a medical, in particular surgical, instrument with ring handles. The opening system includes a base and two axles arranged on the base. The axles are movable relative to each other by an actuator. The axles are arranged on flat base elements that are at different distances from the base. Ring handles of a surgical instrument can be threaded onto the axles. Two swivel clamping devices have clamping elements for clamping the ring handles threaded onto the axles to the base elements.
