The medical instrument (1) has a handle (3) arranged at the proximal end, a shank (6) that is designed to be rigid and has a proximal bend region (10) and a distal bend region (16), in which the extension direction of the shank changes. A section of the shank, in which the distal bend region is situated, is rotated about the longitudinal axis relative to a section of the shank in which the proximal bend region is situated. A jaw part (4) is rotary related to the shank about its distal longitudinal axis at the distal end.
