- a heater (not shown) is provided in at least one of the probe treatment section 23 and the jaw 42. Then, using the heat from the heater, a gripping target such as a blood vessel gripped between the probe treatment unit 23 and the jaw 42 is treated.
- the grasping treatment apparatus 1 grasps a grasped object such as a blood vessel or a membrane tissue between the probe treatment unit 23 and the jaw 42 and performs treatment using energy such as ultrasonic vibration or high-frequency current. Good.
Abstract
Description
本発明の第1の実施形態について図1乃至図17を参照して説明する。図1は、本実施形態の把持処置装置1を示す図である。図1に示すように、把持処置装置1は、長手軸Cを有する。ここで、長手軸Cに平行な2方向の一方を先端方向(図1の矢印A1の方向)とし、先端方向と反対方向を基端方向(図1の矢印A2の方向)とする。
なお、第1の実施形態では、先端側歯部126A,126B及び基端側歯部129A,129Bが設けられているが、これに限るものではない。例えば、第1の変形例として図18に示すように、先端側歯部126A,126B及び基端側歯部129A,129Bが設けられなくてもよい。本変形例においても、第1の実施形態と同様に、離間部123A,123Bより先端方向側に、離間部123A,123Bよりプローブ処置部23に向かって突出する先端側壁部125A,125Bが設けられている。また、離間部123A,123Bより基端方向側に、離間部123A,123Bよりプローブ処置部23に向かって突出する基端側壁部128A,128Bが設けられている。先端側壁部125A,125B及び基端側壁部128A,128Bにより、ジョー42の当接部121とプローブ処置部23との間で把持された血管Vの長手軸Cに平行な方向への移動が防止される。ただし、本変形例では、先端側歯部126A,126B及び基端側歯部129A,129Bが設けられていないため、第1の実施形態に比べ、ジョー42とプローブ処置部23との間で把持された膜状組織Mが長手軸Cに平行な方向へ移動し易くなる。
