The laser irradiation apparatus 100 comprises: a long and slender main body 101; a rotating shaft 180 that is held, rotatably inside the main body 101; optical fibers 103a, 103b; multiple reflecting mirrors 181a-181f that are installed on the rotating shaft 180 and reflect the laser rays; and a drive unit 105 that drives the rotating shaft. Multiple reflecting mirrors 181a14 181f are located in different positions along the longitudinal and circumferential directions of the rotating shaft 180. The slanting angles of reflecting mirrors 181a14 181f move are set at angles that converge the reflected laser rays at a target area. The positions where reflecting mirrors 181a14 181f reflect the laser rays move along the axial direction as the rotating shaft 180 rotates. The vicinity of the target area is maintained at relatively low temperatures. In the meanwhile, the target area is heated to a specified temperature due to the convergent of the laser rays.

An side irradiating type laser ray irradiation apparatus for irradiating a tissue with a laser ray having a deep transmitting capability for the purpose of treating, for example, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, cancer or other tumors. The apparatus includes an irradiating unit for reflecting the laser ray, a transporting device for transporting the irradiating unit, and an interlocking device for changing the irradiation angle of the laser ray in correspondence with the movement so that the laser ray radiated from the moving irradiating unit always passes through the same point. Since the laser ray constantly passes through a point in a deep area of the tissue, it is capable of effectively heating only the deep lesional region.

A positioning system for an applicator includes a glove for being used for a diagnosis of the affected part, a mark body provided on the glove, an applicator for being inserted into a living body, and an energy emitter provided on the applicator for supplying energy to the living body. The positioning system further includes a sensor provided on the applicator which is capable of detecting the distance to the mark body, a control apparatus for discriminating an optimum position of the applicator based on the distance between the sensor and the mark body while the mark body is disposed in the proximity of the affected part based on a diagnosis performed using the glove, and a display apparatus for displaying a result of the discrimination by the control apparatus.

To make it possible to clean the internal part of a living body and possibly also deliver a drug into the living body, a medical therapeutic apparatus includes a liquid discharge 4 for discharging a liquid in a living body out of the living body and a liquid delivery for introducing a liquid into the living body. The liquid is delivered to a target region of the living body, and controller controls the delivery and discharge of the liquid.

A thermal treatment apparatus comprises a control unit 251a that stops issuing a signal for laser beam activation transmitted over the foot switch signal cable 291 when the temperature obtained by the mirror temperature sensor 111 that detects the temperature of the laser emission part 122 provided at the laser irradiation unit 1 exceeds a predetermined value. This stops the output of the laser beam from the laser generator 3. Alternatively, the control unit can adjust the output value of the laser beam generated by the laser beam generator 3 by transmitting a signal via the communication cable 293 to change it in accordance with the detection signal of the mirror temperature sensor 111.

Laser irradiation apparatus 100 comprises: a long and slender main body 101; an optical fiber 107 provided slidable inside the main body 101; a guide unit 115 that forms a curved track, along which the distal end of the optical fiber 107 slides; and a drive unit 109 that causes the optical fiber 107 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the main body 101. The drive unit 109 makes the optical fiber 107 reciprocates within a part of the curved track as a stroke length. The laser rays are irradiated while the distal end of the optical fiber 107 slides along the curved track. The irradiated laser rays crosses the target area, which is the center and its vicinity of a circle that includes the curved track. The areas surrounding the target area are maintained at relatively low temperatures as the laser ray irradiating position is constantly changing. On the other hand, the temperature of the target area rises to a specified temperature because the laser rays concentrate there.

A tubular medical device comprises a tubular body, a lumen, a compression-resisting member inserted in the lumen so that it cannot move in the direction of the axis of the tubular body, with its distal end located at a predetermined distance from the distal end of the tubular body toward the proximal end, a pull wire whose distal end is secured near the distal end of the tubular body at a position deviated from the axis of the tubular body and which is led in the tubular body to the proximal end of the tubular body, and a pulling mechanism for pulling the pull wire toward the proximal end of the tubular body which is attached to the proximal end of the tubular body and has an manipulating dial. The compression-resisting member consists of a main body and a secured portion. The compression-resisting member main body, and has a property of resisting compression in the axial direction of he tubular body. The secured portion retains the rain part in place in the lumen.
摘要:
In a thermal therapy apparatus for treating a vital tissue by irradiating the tissue with a laser beam, a display unit displays a figure indicating the shape of a diseased part to be heated on the basis of information concerning the diseased part. Heating regions are arranged in the displayed figure indicating the diseased part shape by using identifiers corresponding to individual heating conditions. In accordance with size/position information of these heating regions arranged, heating conditions such as the laser intensity laser irradiation time and laser irradiation angle are set. Laser beam irradiation is performed by controlling the irradiation in accordance with the set heating conditions. The information pertaining to the diseased part can also be input on the basis of an ultrasonic signal from an ultrasonic probe separated from or installed in the laser irradiation portion.

A laser irradiation apparatus comprising: a long and slender main body 101; an optical fiber 107, which is placed inside the main body 101 and which is equipped with a proximal end through which a laser ray is introduced and an emitting part from which the laser ray is emitted sideways or diagonally; and a reflecting member 151, which is affixed inside said main body 101 and reflects laser ray emitted from the optical fiber 107. The emitting part of the optical fiber 107 is capable of making a reciprocating motion in the lengthwise direction inside the main body 101 within the specified range. The reflecting member 151 has a reflecting surface 152 that changes its reflecting angle as the emitting part of the optical fiber 107 moves along its reciprocating movement range.
