Medical instrument and method for the manufacture of a medical instrument

A method for manufacturing a medical instrument having a first part and a second part, the first part having at least one first bearing area, the second part having at least one second bearing area, the method comprising the steps of:

• arranging the at least one first bearing area and the at least one second bearing area such that the at least one first bearing area and the at least one second bearing area face each other;
• connecting the first part and the second part to one another with a connecting element such that the first part and the second part are pivotable relative to one another about a pivot axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the connecting element;
• arranging a biasing element between the at least one first bearing area and the at least one second bearing area before connecting the first part and the second part to one another;
• compressing the biasing element with the first part and the second part in a compressed state;
• and maintaining the compressed state by adjusting the connecting element such that the biasing element exerts a biasing force on the at least one first bearing area and the at least one second bearing area to keep the at least one first bearing area and the at least one second bearing area biased away from one another, the medical instrument further comprising a connecting device, the connecting device comprising an applied connecting device, the at least one first bearing area comprising one single first bearing area, the at least one second bearing area comprising one single second bearing area, the applied connecting device comprising the one single first bearing area and the one single second bearing area, wherein the first part comprises the one single first bearing area, the first part being applied to the one single second bearing area with the biasing element arranged between the first part and the one single second bearing area.
