Abstract:
A medical instrument includes: a jaw which is provided with a grasping section; and a blade which is movable close to and away from the grasping section and which extends from a distal-end portion thereof to a proximal-end portion thereof, the blade having a top portion including a ridge opposed to the grasping section, and the ridge of the top portion in the proximal-end portion being sharper than the ridge of the top portion in the distal-end portion.
Abstract:
In a blade of a grasping treatment unit, a top sharpening toward a jaw forms a ridge line along a longitudinal direction of the blade, and in the jaw, a grasping surface opposed to the top extends. A proximal side counter portion, on which the top can abut while the blade and the jaw are closed relative to each other, is provided in a region of the grasping surface located on a proximal side with respect to a distal portion, and a distal side counter portion, which does not contact the top while the top abuts on the proximal side counter portion, is provided in the distal portion of the grasping surface.
Abstract:
A treatment instrument includes a treatment body that includes a treatment surface provided in the first clamp surface, the treatment surface protruding toward the second clamp surface in response to the supply of heat energy and increasing pressure on the living tissue to treat the living tissue in cooperation with the action of the heat energy.
Abstract:
A grasping treatment unit includes a first jaw, and a second jaw openable and closable relative to the first jaw. In the first jaw, a heating wire continues without branching from a first extending end to a second extending end, and heat is generated over an entire length from the first extending end to the second extending end when the electric current flows through the heating wire. In a heating portion, a calorific value per unit area is higher in a distal portion than in a proximal portion in the first jaw when the heat is generated from the heating wire. On a treatment surface of the first jaw, an amount of heat transfer from the heating portion is greater in the distal portion than in the proximal portion.
Abstract:
A treatment instrument that includes a first grasping member having a first grasping surface and a second grasping member having a second grasping surface. The treatment instrument includes a cover that covers at least a part of a region of at least one of the first and second grasping members other than the first and second grasping surfaces, and a pair of electrodes that are arranged on at least one of the first and second grasping surfaces to function as a bipolar electrode. An opening is provided in the cove, and a monopolar electrode arranged to overlap with the opening and is exposed to an outside of the treatment instrument through the opening.
Abstract:
In a manufacturing of a grasping device that is openable and closable and includes a first jaw having a first hole and a second jaw having a second hole larger than the first hole, the first jaw is arranged in between protruding portions of the second jaw. The second hole is located outside the first hole in a width direction of the grasping device, and a cross-sectional area of the second hole is larger than the first hole. A pin member is inserted through both the first hole and the second hole. The positions of the first jaw and the pin member are adjusted relative to the second jaw to predetermined positions. The pin member is fixed to the second jaw upon positioning the first jaw and the second jaw at the predetermined positions.
Abstract:
A surgical treatment instrument includes an elongated member an end effector that is bendable with respect to the elongated member, a bending operator operable to bend the end effector, a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis in response to operation of the bending operator, and a transmitter that transmits a driving force to bend the end effector. The bending operator, the rotor, and the transmitter are rotatable about the longitudinal axis together with the elongated member and the end effector.
Abstract:
A treatment device includes an insertion portion, an end effector, a grasp portion, a transmitting member, a first locking portion, a second locking portion, and an operational body. The operational body is configured to switch between a first position where the transmitting member is moved forward along the longitudinal axis of the insertion portion to keep the end effector in a first state to extend along the longitudinal axis to the distal end of the insertion portion along the longitudinal axis, and a second position where the transmitting member is moved backward along the longitudinal axis of the insertion portion to keep the end effector in a second state to be rotated relative to the longitudinal axis with respect to the distal end of the insertion portion.
Abstract:
A handle includes a first operation input body provided on a handle main body and configured to rotate in first and second directions to operate a first end effector; an interlock body rotatable relative to the first operation input body; an engaging portion provided in the interlock body and configured to be engaged with the handle main body and to restrict rotation of the first operation input body in the second direction when the first operation input body is rotated in the first direction; and a second operation input body configured to rotate to operate a second end effector, and disengage the engaging portion from the handle main body by pressing the interlock body.
Abstract:
A medical instrument includes: a jaw which is provided with a grasping section; and a blade which is movable close to and away from the grasping section and which extends from a distal-end portion thereof to a proximal-end portion thereof, the blade having a top portion including a ridge opposed to the grasping section, and the ridge of the top portion in the proximal-end portion being sharper than the ridge of the top portion in the distal-end portion.
