The distal section possesses at least one cutting means able to be deformed into a working state thereof together with the distal section. At the second, proximal end of the housing shank actuating means are provided with which the cutting means may be moved out of the form as inserted into the working form. The housing shank has a fluid duct, which adjacent to the housing shank distal section is provided with at least one outlet opening. The fluid duct is able to be bent into an arc at the distal section like the cutting means and has a fluid inlet opening at the proximal end thereof.
