Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gripping unit that can be opened and closed with respect to a treatment section of a probe, and a bipolar treatment instrument that treats a treatment target gripped between the treatment section of the probe and the gripping unit.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a bipolar treatment instrument that includes a probe provided with a treatment portion at the distal end portion and a jaw that is a gripping unit that can be opened and closed with respect to the treatment portion, and performs treatment using high-frequency current (high-frequency energy).
- the treatment portion functions as a probe-side electrode portion (first electrode portion) by transmitting (supplying) high-frequency energy through the probe.
- the jaw (gripping unit) is provided with a support portion and a swinging portion that can swing with respect to the support portion.
- the swinging portion is connected to the support portion through a spring as a connecting member so as to be swingable about a swinging shaft parallel to the width direction of the jaw.
- the oscillating portion functions as a jaw side electrode portion (second electrode portion) by transmitting (supplying) high-frequency energy through a conductive portion provided in a sheath through which the probe is inserted and a support portion of the jaw. .
- the swinging portion is provided with a jaw-side facing surface that faces the treatment portion.

Since the swinging portion provided with the jaw side facing surface that comes into contact with the treatment target can swing about the swinging axis, even when the tip of the jaw side facing surface (the tip of the jaw) is in contact with the treatment target.
- the gripping force of the treatment target between the jaw and the treatment portion is substantially the same when the proximal end portion of the jaw-side facing surface (base end portion of the jaw) abuts the treatment target.
- the support portion and the swinging portion are exposed to the outside at a portion facing the width direction of the exposed surface of the jaw that is the gripping unit. For this reason, a gap is formed between the support portion and the swinging portion at a portion facing the width direction of the exposed surface (outer surface) of the jaw. Accordingly, when the treatment portion and the jaw of the probe are moved in the treatment, the living tissue is easily caught or clogged in the gap between the support portion and the swinging portion. When the living tissue is caught or clogged in the gap between the support portion and the swinging portion, the treatment performance in the treatment is deteriorated.
- high-frequency energy is supplied to the swinging part that becomes the jaw side electrode part through the support part. For this reason, when the exposed surface (outer surface) of the support portion comes into contact with a living tissue or the like at a place other than the treatment target, a high-frequency current is discharged from the exposed surface of the support portion. In this case, the current density of the high-frequency current flowing in the treatment target grasped between the swinging portion of the jaw and the treatment portion is lowered, and the treatment performance due to the high-frequency energy is lowered.
