れている。2. Description of the Related Art In a treatment tool for an endoscope such as a biopsy forceps for an endoscope, a wire made of an elastic wire such as a stainless steel wire is spirally wound with a substantially constant diameter. The formed coil pipe is used as a flexible sheath, and an operation wire is inserted and disposed inside the flexible pipe so as to be able to advance and retreat in the axial direction.

くして腰の強さを確保している。[0003] When a flexible sheath is formed by a coil pipe as described above, simply winding the coil pipe in close contact is too soft and stiff to use. Therefore, in general, a preload (a load applied in a compression direction in a state where no external force is applied, that is, an amount of equipment) is applied to the coil pipe, so that the coil pipe is hardened and the stiffness is secured.

困難であり、衛生性の確保に膨大な手間がかかってい
た。However, such a flexible sheath made of a tightly wound coil pipe, if bent inside a body between adjacent strands when it is bent, may be dislodged after use. It is very difficult to completely remove the garbage, and enormous labor has been required to ensure hygiene.

隙間の洗浄を容易に行うことができる。Therefore, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-8709, if a coil pipe is formed into a coarse winding having a gap substantially equal to the diameter of a wire, for example,
The gap can be easily cleaned.

内視鏡用処置具の可撓性シースとして用いるには実用性
がなく、実際に使用レベルに達したものはなかった。However, the stiffness of such a coarsely wound coil pipe is not much different from that of a simple tightly wound coil pipe that is not preloaded, and is too soft.
It was not practical to use it as a flexible sheath for an endoscope treatment tool, and none of them had actually reached the use level.

供することを目的とする。Therefore, the present invention can easily clean a gap between adjacent strands of a coil pipe forming a flexible sheath, and has sufficient stiffness which is practical as a flexible sheath. It is an object of the present invention to provide a treatment tool for an endoscope which can obtain the endoscope.

により形成したものである。Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a treatment instrument for an endoscope according to the present invention comprises a flexible sheath,
In an endoscope treatment tool using a coil pipe formed by spirally winding a wire made of an elastic wire with a substantially constant diameter, a part or the whole of a flexible sheath is formed with a pitch of the wire diameter. It is formed by a coil pipe of a coarse winding in a range of 2.5 to 3.5 times of the above.

る。Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of an endoscope biopsy forceps to which the present invention is applied. However, the present invention can be applied to various endoscope treatment tools other than biopsy forceps.

Formed by a coil pipe roughly spirally wound with a diameter of. The outer diameter (diameter) of the flexible sheath 1 is D, the strand diameter is d, and the spiral winding pitch is p.

By operating the operation wire 2 at the insertion portion 5 connected to the base end of the flexible sheath 1, the flexible sheath 1 is moved.
A pair of forceps cups 3 disposed at the tips of the two are driven to open and close in a beak shape around the support shaft 4.

きに形成されている。The tightly wound coil pipe forming the flexible sheath 1 of the biopsy forceps for an endoscope thus configured is
The pitch p is formed in a coarse winding of about three times the wire diameter d over the entire length.

て適度な腰の強さを得ることができる。As described above, by increasing the pitch p of the coil pipes forming the flexible sheath 1 to about three times the wire diameter d, the flexible sheath 1 of the treatment tool for an endoscope can be moderated. The strength of the waist can be obtained.

って、腰が強くなる特性を有することを見い出した。The inventor of the present invention has found that the strength of the stiffness of the coil pipe is minimal in the case of simple close-coil winding, and the coil pipe becomes harder as the coarse winding pitch p is increased, and the stiffness of the coil pipe increases. It has been found to have certain properties.

で読んだ。The following shows the measured contents of the relationship between the coarse winding pitch p and the flexibility of the coil pipe and the results. As shown in FIG. 2, a flexible sheath formed by the coil pipe is used. 1 was bent 180 ° in a U-shape within a range of 50 mm from the fixed portion, and the necessary force was read on a scale of the load cell 10.

４５ｍｍ、Ｄ＝１．５ｍｍの場合の測定結果である。FIG. 3 shows that the wire diameter d of the coil pipe forming the flexible sheath 1 is d = 0.5 mm and the outer diameter D is D = D = 0.5 mm.
FIG. 4 shows a measurement result in the case of 1.9 mm, and FIG.
It is a measurement result in the case of 45 mm and D = 1.5 mm.

しくなる。In each case, the coarse winding pitch p is 2.5
The flexibility at the time of d is the normal preload (600 to 70
0g) is the same as the flexibility of the tightly wound coil pipe given. When the coarse winding pitch p exceeds 3.5 d, the flexibility is too insufficient to be practically useful as the flexible sheath 1. .

行うことができる。Therefore, as the coil pipe forming the flexible sheath 1, the pitch p is set to 2.5 to the wire diameter d.
By using the one having a range of 3.5 times, it is possible to obtain an adequate waist strength as the flexible sheath 1 of the treatment tool for an endoscope, and to surely clean a gap between adjacent strands. Can be done.

The other portion 1a may be a tightly wound with a preload.

強さを得ることができる。According to the treatment tool for an endoscope of the present invention, a part or the whole of the flexible sheath is formed with a pitch of 2.5 times the element diameter.
Since the coil is formed by a coarsely wound coil pipe having a size of about 3.5 times, it is possible to easily clean a gap between adjacent strands of the coil pipe forming the flexible sheath, and furthermore, it is flexible. It is possible to obtain sufficient waist strength that is practical as a sheath.
