A medical instrument includes two pivotally coupled branches. Each branch has a handling portion and a jaw portion. The jaw portions form a mouth which is movable between a closed state, in which the jaw portions are moved inwardly, and an open state, in which the jaw portions are moved outwardly. At least one branch includes a branch member and jaw member. The branch member includes one of the handling portions and a coupling. The jaw member forms one of the jaw portions and has a complementary coupling. The coupling and complementary coupling form a releasable connection to exchangeably attach the jaw member to the branch member. The coupling includes two wedge surfaces opposing each other along a medial/lateral axis. The wedge surfaces are inclined proximally toward each other by a first angle of inclination, and inclined inwardly toward each other by a second angle of inclination.
A method to produce modified mesenchymal cells, in particular for the treatment of renal fibrosis, includes modifying the cells with a viral vector, in such a way that the modified cells code for a protein which is Decorin. The modified mesenchymal cells are modified with a modifying agent that includes a viral vector associated with the mesenchymal cells so that the modified mesenchymal cells express Decorin. A medicament, in particular for the treatment of renal and lung fibrosis, includes the mesenchymal cells modified with the modifying agent and which express Decorin.
