Description
本発明は、内視鏡下で病変部等の処置対象物を把持するのに用いられる内視鏡処置具に関するものである。
The present invention relates to an endoscopic treatment tool used for grasping an object to be treated such as a lesion under an endoscope.
従来、内視鏡を用いた早期がん、特に食道や胃、大腸等の消化管に分類される臓器のがんの処置において、内視鏡的粘膜下層剥離術(ESD)や内視鏡的粘膜切除術(EMR)が用いられている。ESDやEMRでは、病変部を切除した後の傷口を止血したり、傷口をつまんで塞ぐために結紮したりする際にクリップが用いられている。内視鏡処置具の遠位側に配置されたクリップの開閉は、内視鏡処置具の近位側に配置されたハンドルの操作によって制御される。この種の内視鏡処置具として、例えば特許文献1には、ハンドルの押し込み、リターンにより、クリップを操作するものが開示されている。
Conventionally, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or endoscopic treatment has been used in the treatment of early cancers using an endoscope, particularly cancers of organs classified into the digestive tract such as the esophagus, stomach, and large intestine. Mucosal resection (EMR) is used. In ESD and EMR, a clip is used for hemostasis of a wound after excising a lesion or for ligating to pinch and close the wound. The opening and closing of the clip arranged on the distal side of the endoscopic treatment instrument is controlled by the operation of the handle arranged on the proximal side of the endoscopic treatment instrument. As an endoscope treatment tool of this type, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses an instrument for operating a clip by pushing a handle and returning it.
内視鏡処置具では、手元側のハンドルを操作することにより、先端に取り付けたクリップに処置対象物を把持させ、その後クリップを内視鏡処置具から離脱させて、処置対象物を把持した状態のクリップを体内に留置することができる。従来、このような操作は、術者がクリップの動きに伴う微妙な抵抗の違いを、ハンドルを持った手で感知することにより行ってきた。そのため、術者にとっては、クリップの操作を適切に行うことが難しい場合がある。例えば、クリップの把持位置が狙ったところからずれたり、意図せずクリップを離脱させたりすることが起こりうる。また、止血の際には、スピードが要求されるため、的確にクリップ操作を行う必要がある。
With the endoscopic treatment tool, a clip attached to the distal end of the treatment object is grasped by operating a handle on the proximal side, and then the clip is detached from the endoscopic treatment instrument to grasp the treatment object. The clip can be placed in the body. Conventionally, such an operation has been performed by the surgeon sensing a subtle difference in resistance caused by movement of the clip with a hand holding a handle. Therefore, it may be difficult for the surgeon to properly operate the clip. For example, the grip position of the clip may deviate from the intended position, or the clip may be unintentionally released. In addition, when hemostasis is performed, speed is required, so it is necessary to perform an accurate clip operation.
本発明は前記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、手元側のハンドルの操作によって、クリップを取り付ける接続部の遠近方向の位置を適切に制御することができる内視鏡処置具を提供することにある。

Aromatic polyether ketone resin such as ether ketone (PEEK), polyimide resin, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene-perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA), ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) ) And other synthetic resins such as fluororesins can be used. From the viewpoint of slipperiness, it is preferable that the synthetic resins forming the tubular body 2 and the outer tubular body 6 are different materials.
ハンドル7は、ハンドル本体8と、ハンドル本体8に対して遠近方向に移動可能なスライダー9を有する。ハンドル本体8およびスライダー9は、1または複数の部材から構成することができる。ハンドル本体8およびスライダー9の構成材料としては、例えば、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリエチレン(PE)等のポリオレフィン樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)等のポリエステル樹脂、ポリカーボネート樹脂、ABS樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂等の合成樹脂を用いることができる。
The handle 7 has a handle body 8 and a slider 9 movable in a perspective direction with respect to the handle body 8. The handle body 8 and the slider 9 can be composed of one or more members. Examples of the constituent materials of the handle body 8 and the slider 9 include polyolefin resins such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), synthetic resins such as polycarbonate resins, ABS resins and polyurethane resins. Can be used.
ハンドル本体8には筒体2の近位端部が接続し、スライダー9には線材3の近位端部が接続し、スライダー9をハンドル本体8に対して遠近方向に移動させることにより、線材3を筒体2に対して遠近方向に移動させることができる。具体的には、スライダー9をハンドル本体8に対して近位側に移動させることにより、線材3を筒体2に対して近位方向に移動させることができ、スライダー9をハンドル本体8に対して遠位側に移動させることにより、線材3を筒体2に対して遠位方向に移動させることができる。内視鏡処置具1は、スライダー9を遠位側から近位側に向かって牽引することにより、線材3の遠位端部に設けられた接続部4を筒体2内に収容できる。なお、スライダー9がハンドル本体8に対して遠近方向に移動可能とは、スライダー9とハンドル本体8との遠近方向の位置を相対的に変化させることができることを含む。スライダー9は、ハンドル本体8に対して遠近方向に摺動可能であることが好ましい。
The handle body 8 is connected to the proximal end portion of the tubular body 2, the slider 9 is connected to the proximal end portion of the wire rod 3, and the slider 9 is moved in the perspective direction with respect to the handle body 8 to move the wire rod. 3 can be moved in the perspective direction with respect to the tubular body 2. Specifically, by moving the slider 9 proximally with respect to the handle body 8, the wire 3 can be moved in the proximal direction with respect to the tubular body 2, and the slider 9 with respect to the handle body 8. The wire 3 can be moved in the distal direction with respect to the tubular body 2 by moving the wire 3 toward the distal side. The endoscope treatment tool 1 can accommodate the connecting portion 4 provided at the distal end portion of the wire 3 in the tubular body 2 by pulling the slider 9 from the distal side toward the proximal side. The fact that the slider 9 can move in the perspective direction with respect to the handle body 8 includes that the positions of the slider 9 and the handle body 8 in the perspective direction can be relatively changed. The slider 9 is preferably slidable in the perspective direction with respect to the handle body 8.
内視鏡処置具1は、クリップ21で処置対象物を把持する際あるいはその前後で、接続部4の遠近方向の位置が適切に制御されることが好ましい。例えば、内視鏡処置具1を内視鏡の鉗子チャンネルに挿入してクリップ21を処置対象物の近くまで搬送する際は、クリップ21は筒体2の遠位端またはその近傍に位置するようにすることが好ましい。これにより、クリップ21を処置対象物まで搬送した後すぐに処置対象物の把持操作に取りかかることができる。また、クリップ21を閉じる操作に入るまでに線材3を近位側に牽引する距離が過剰に長くならずに済むため、クリップ21の遠近方向の位置が処置対象物から大きくずれることを防ぐことができる。そのため、クリップ21により処置対象物の所望の箇所を把持することが容易になる。実際にクリップ21を閉じる操作を行うときは、処置対象物の把持状況を確認しながらクリップ21を徐々に閉じることが好ましく、そのために、スライダー9を遠位側から近位側に向かって牽引する際に、クリップ21が閉じ始める地点またはその近くにあることを、術者がハンドル7を操作しながら感知できることが好ましい。これにより、クリップ21を閉じて処置対象物を把持する際に、スライダー9を慎重に近位側に牽引することが容易になる。
In the endoscopic treatment instrument 1, it is preferable that the position of the connecting portion 4 in the perspective direction is appropriately controlled before or after gripping the treatment target with the clip 21. For example, when the endoscope treatment tool 1 is inserted into the forceps channel of the endoscope and the clip 21 is transported to the vicinity of the treatment object, the clip 21 is positioned at the distal end of the tubular body 2 or in the vicinity thereof. Is preferred. As a result, the gripping operation of the treatment target can be started immediately after the clip 21 is transported to the treatment target. In addition, the distance for pulling the wire 3 toward the proximal side does not become excessively long before the operation of closing the clip 21 is performed, so that the position of the clip 21 in the perspective direction can be prevented from largely deviating from the treatment object. it can. Therefore, it becomes easy to grip a desired portion of the treatment target with the clip 21. When actually performing the operation of closing the clip 21, it is preferable to gradually close the clip 21 while confirming the grasped state of the treatment target, and therefore the slider 9 is pulled from the distal side toward the proximal side. At this time, it is preferable that the operator can sense that the clip 21 is at or near the point where the clip 21 starts to close while operating the handle 7. This facilitates careful pulling of the slider 9 proximally when closing the clip 21 and gripping the treatment target.
上記の観点から、内視鏡処置具1は、ハンドル7のスライダー9を近位側に牽引したときに、所定の停止箇所でスライダー9の近位方向への移動が停止するように構成されている。当該所定の停止箇所は、線材3の接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けた状態では、クリップ21が筒体2の遠位端またはその近傍に位置することに対応していることが好ましく、線材3の接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けていない状態では、接続部4の一部または全部が筒体2内に収容される位置に対応していることが好ましい。従って、内視鏡処置具1は、次の条件1と条件2を満たすように構成されていることが好ましく、これについて図5および図6を参照して説明する。
From the above viewpoint, the endoscopic treatment tool 1 is configured such that when the slider 9 of the handle 7 is pulled proximally, the movement of the slider 9 in the proximal direction stops at a predetermined stop position. There is. It is preferable that the predetermined stop point corresponds to the clip 21 being located at the distal end of the tubular body 2 or in the vicinity thereof in a state where the clip 21 is attached to the connecting portion 4 of the wire rod 3. In the state where the clip 21 is not attached to the connecting portion 4, it is preferable that a part or the whole of the connecting portion 4 corresponds to the position accommodated in the tubular body 2. Therefore, the endoscopic treatment tool 1 is preferably configured to satisfy the following conditions 1 and 2, which will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.
図5(a)には、下記条件1の第1次停止箇所でスライダー9が停止した状態が示され、図5(b)には、下記条件1の第2次停止箇所でスライダー9が停止した状態が示されている。図5では、スライダー9の停止箇所を、スライダー9の近位端の遠近方向の位置で表している。図6(a)には、スライダー9が第1次停止箇所にあるときの接続部4と筒体2との位置関係が、クリップ21の状態とともに示されており、図6(b)には、スライダー9が第2次停止箇所にあるときの接続部4と筒体2との位置関係が、クリップ21の状態とともに示されている。
FIG. 5 (a) shows a state where the slider 9 is stopped at the first stop position of the following condition 1, and FIG. 5 (b) shows that the slider 9 is stopped at the second stop position of the following condition 1. The state is shown. In FIG. 5, the stopping position of the slider 9 is represented by the position of the proximal end of the slider 9 in the perspective direction. FIG. 6A shows the positional relationship between the connecting portion 4 and the cylindrical body 2 when the slider 9 is at the primary stop position, together with the state of the clip 21, and FIG. The positional relationship between the connecting portion 4 and the tubular body 2 when the slider 9 is at the secondary stop position is shown together with the state of the clip 21.
[条件1]内視鏡処置具1の接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けていない状態において、スライダー9を近位側に向かって牽引することにより、スライダー9の可動範囲内の第1次停止箇所11においてスライダー9の少なくとも一部がハンドル本体8の少なくとも一部に当接してスライダー9の近位方向への移動が停止され、スライダー9に所定以上の牽引力を付加することにより停止が解かれてスライダー9が近位方向に移動し、スライダー9をさらに近位側に向かって牽引することにより、スライダー9の可動範囲内の第2次停止箇所12において、スライダー9の少なくとも一部がハンドル本体8の少なくとも一部に当接してスライダー9の近位方向への移動が停止され、スライダー9に所定以上の牽引力を付加することにより停止が解かれてスライダー9が近位方向に移動する。
[Condition 1] When the clip 21 is not attached to the connecting portion 4 of the endoscopic treatment tool 1, the slider 9 is pulled toward the proximal side, so that the primary stop point within the movable range of the slider 9 is reached. At 11, at least a part of the slider 9 abuts at least a part of the handle body 8 to stop the movement of the slider 9 in the proximal direction, and the stop is released by applying a pulling force of a predetermined amount or more to the slider 9. By moving the slider 9 in the proximal direction and further pulling the slider 9 toward the proximal side, at least a part of the slider 9 is moved to the handle main body 8 at the secondary stop point 12 within the movable range of the slider 9. The slider 9 is stopped from moving in the proximal direction by coming into contact with at least a part of the slider 9, and the slider 9 is moved in the proximal direction by releasing the stop by applying a pulling force of a predetermined amount or more to the slider 9.
[条件2]スライダー9が第1次停止箇所11に位置しているとき接続部4の少なくとも一部が筒体2内に収容されており、スライダー9が第2次停止箇所12に位置しているとき接続部4の全部が筒体2内に収容されている。
[Condition 2] When the slider 9 is located at the primary stop point 11, at least a part of the connecting portion 4 is housed in the tubular body 2, and the slider 9 is located at the secondary stop point 12. When present, the entire connecting portion 4 is housed in the tubular body 2.
第1次停止箇所11と第2次停止箇所12は、術者が内視鏡処置具1による処置を行う際に、クリップ21が適切な位置にあることを知らせるシグナルとして機能させることができる。術者はスライダー9を近位側に牽引したときに、ハンドル7を操作しながら第1次停止箇所11と第2次停止箇所12を手元で感知することができ、これにより、クリップ21を適切な位置にセットしたり、クリップ21の操作を適切に行うことができる。なお、スライダー9を近位側に牽引する操作は、ハンドル本体8を遠位側へ押し出す操作と同視できる。
The primary stopping point 11 and the secondary stopping point 12 can function as a signal notifying that the clip 21 is in the proper position when the operator performs the treatment with the endoscopic treatment tool 1. When the operator pulls the slider 9 to the proximal side, the operator can detect the primary stop point 11 and the secondary stop point 12 by hand while operating the handle 7, and thus the clip 21 can be properly adjusted. It can be set to a proper position and the clip 21 can be operated appropriately. The operation of pulling the slider 9 to the proximal side can be regarded as the operation of pushing the handle body 8 to the distal side.
第1次停止箇所11は、クリップ21による把持操作を行う前に、クリップ21が待機状態に適した位置にあることを知らせるシグナルとして機能させることができる。待機状態とは、クリップ21による把持操作をすぐに行うことができる状態である。第1次停止箇所11では、接続部4は少なくとも一部が筒体2内に収容されており、この状態で接続部4にクリップ21が接続されていると、クリップ21を筒体2の遠位端かその近傍に位置させることができる。第1次停止箇所11では、接続部4の全部が筒体2内に収容されていてもよく、この場合、接続部4の遠位端は、例えば筒体2の遠位端から近位側に3.0mm以内に位置することが好ましく、2.5mm以内に位置することがより好ましい。スライダー9が第1次停止箇所11に位置しているときは、接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けた状態で、クリップ21の全部が筒体2の遠位端より遠位側にあるか、クリップ21の一部のみが筒体2内に収容されていることが好ましい。
The primary stop point 11 can be made to function as a signal notifying that the clip 21 is in the position suitable for the standby state before performing the gripping operation by the clip 21. The standby state is a state in which the grip operation with the clip 21 can be performed immediately. At the primary stop point 11, at least a part of the connecting portion 4 is housed in the tubular body 2. When the clip 21 is connected to the connecting portion 4 in this state, the clip 21 is removed from the tubular body 2. It can be located at or near the end. At the primary stopping point 11, the entire connecting portion 4 may be housed in the tubular body 2, and in this case, the distal end of the connecting portion 4 is, for example, the proximal side from the distal end of the tubular body 2. Is preferably located within 3.0 mm, more preferably within 2.5 mm. When the slider 9 is located at the primary stopping point 11, with the clip 21 attached to the connecting portion 4, all of the clip 21 is on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2, or It is preferable that only a part of 21 is accommodated in the cylindrical body 2.
クリップ21の待機状態の位置としては、第1次停止箇所11であってもよく、第1次停止箇所11と第2次停止箇所12の間の区間であってもよい。前者の場合は、スライダー9を近位側に向かって牽引して第1次停止箇所11でスライダー9が停止したときにクリップ21の待機状態とすることができ、後者の場合は、さらにスライダー9を近位側に向かって牽引して第1次停止箇所11を越えて第2次停止箇所12に至るまでの範囲でクリップ21の待機状態とすることができる。
The position of the clip 21 in the standby state may be the primary stop point 11 or a section between the primary stop point 11 and the secondary stop point 12. In the former case, the slider 9 can be pulled toward the proximal side to bring the clip 21 into the standby state when the slider 9 stops at the primary stop point 11, and in the latter case, the slider 9 can be further moved. Can be pulled toward the proximal side, and the clip 21 can be in the standby state in the range from the primary stop point 11 to the secondary stop point 12.
内視鏡処置具1による施術を行う際は、クリップ21の待機状態で内視鏡処置具1を内視鏡の鉗子チャンネルに挿入して、クリップ21を処置対象物の近くまで搬送することが好ましい。この際、クリップ21は待機状態の位置を維持したまま処置対象物の近くまで搬送されることが好ましい。これにより、クリップ21を処置対象物まで搬送後すぐに処置対象物の把持操作に取りかかることができる。このような観点から、クリップ21は、第1次停止箇所11を越えて第2次停止箇所12に至るまでの範囲で待機状態とすることが好ましい。これにより、クリップ21を処置対象物の近くまで搬送するまでの間、クリップ21が待機状態で維持されやすくなる。
When performing an operation with the endoscopic treatment tool 1, it is possible to insert the endoscopic treatment tool 1 into the forceps channel of the endoscope while the clip 21 is in the standby state and convey the clip 21 to the vicinity of the treatment object. preferable. At this time, it is preferable that the clip 21 be transported to the vicinity of the treatment target while maintaining the position in the standby state. As a result, the gripping operation of the treatment target can be started immediately after the clip 21 is transported to the treatment target. From such a point of view, it is preferable that the clip 21 is in a standby state in a range beyond the primary stop point 11 and reaches the secondary stop point 12. This makes it easier to maintain the clip 21 in the standby state until the clip 21 is transported near the treatment target.
第1次停止箇所11から第2次停止箇所12までの遠近方向の長さは、クリップ21の遠近方向の長さや形状に応じて適宜設定することができ、例えば1.0mm以上が好ましく、1.5mm以上がより好ましく、また5.0mm以下が好ましく、4.0mm以下がより好ましい。
The length in the perspective direction from the primary stop point 11 to the secondary stop point 12 can be appropriately set according to the length and shape of the clip 21 in the perspective direction, and is preferably 1.0 mm or more, for example. It is more preferably 0.5 mm or more, preferably 5.0 mm or less, and more preferably 4.0 mm or less.
クリップ21の待機状態では、クリップ21は外側筒体6の遠位端から出し入れ可能となっていることが好ましい。これについて、図7を参照して説明する。クリップ21の待機状態では、接続部4にクリップ21を接続した状態で外側筒体6を筒体2に対して最遠位に移動させたときに、図7(a)に示すように外側筒体6がクリップ21を内包し、外側筒体6を筒体2に対して最近位に移動させたときに、図7(b)に示すようにクリップ21の遠位端が外側筒体6から露出することが好ましい。これにより、内視鏡の鉗子チャンネルを通ってクリップ21を処置対象部の近くに搬送する間に、外側筒体6によってクリップ21が保護されるとともに、クリップ21が内視鏡内の鉗子チャンネルや病変部以外の体内組織等を傷付けることを防止することができる。クリップ21を処置対象物の近くまで搬送した後は、外側筒体6を内視鏡処置具1の近位側に牽引して、外側筒体6からクリップ21を露出させて、クリップ21による施術を行うことができる。
In the standby state of the clip 21, it is preferable that the clip 21 can be put in and taken out from the distal end of the outer tubular body 6. This will be described with reference to FIG. 7. In the standby state of the clip 21, when the outer tubular body 6 is moved to the most distal end with respect to the tubular body 2 with the clip 21 connected to the connecting portion 4, as shown in FIG. When the body 6 contains the clip 21 and the outer cylinder 6 is moved to the most proximal position with respect to the cylinder 2, the distal end of the clip 21 is separated from the outer cylinder 6 as shown in FIG. 7B. It is preferable to expose. As a result, the clip 21 is protected by the outer tubular body 6 while being transported through the forceps channel of the endoscope to the vicinity of the treatment target portion, and the clip 21 is also protected by the forceps channel in the endoscope. It is possible to prevent damage to internal tissues other than the lesion. After the clip 21 is transported to the vicinity of the treatment object, the outer cylinder 6 is pulled toward the proximal side of the endoscopic treatment tool 1 to expose the clip 21 from the outer cylinder 6, and the operation by the clip 21 is performed. It can be performed.
クリップ21は、第1次停止箇所11において、上記のように外側筒体6の遠位端から出し入れ可能となっていてもよく、第1次停止箇所11と第2次停止箇所12との間で、外側筒体6の遠位端から出し入れ可能となっていてもよい。また、スライダー9が第1次停止箇所11よりも遠位側に配置される場合において、クリップ21が外側筒体6の遠位端から出し入れ可能となっていてもよい。
The clip 21 may be removable at the primary stop point 11 from the distal end of the outer tubular body 6 as described above, and may be disposed between the primary stop point 11 and the secondary stop point 12. Then, it may be possible to take it in and out from the distal end of the outer tubular body 6. Further, when the slider 9 is arranged on the distal side of the primary stop location 11, the clip 21 may be able to be taken in and out from the distal end of the outer tubular body 6.
第2次停止箇所12は、クリップ21が把持操作を開始するのに適した位置にあることを知らせるシグナルとして機能させることができる。第2次停止箇所12では、接続部4の全部が筒体2内に収容されており、この状態で接続部4にクリップ21が接続されていると、クリップ21の近位部を筒体2内に収容させ、遠位部を筒体2の遠位端から遠位側に延出させることができる。つまり、スライダー9が第2次停止箇所12に位置しているときは、接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けた状態で、クリップ21の一部のみが筒体2内に収容されていることが好ましい。クリップ21が、クリップ本体22と締付リング23から構成される場合は、スライダー9が第2次停止箇所12に位置しているときに締付リング23の近位端が筒体2の遠位端と当接していることが好ましい。第2次停止箇所12では、接続部4の遠位端は、例えば筒体2の遠位端から近位側に5.0mm以内に位置することが好ましい。
The secondary stop point 12 can be made to function as a signal notifying that the clip 21 is in a position suitable for starting a gripping operation. At the secondary stopping point 12, the entire connecting portion 4 is housed in the tubular body 2. When the clip 21 is connected to the connecting portion 4 in this state, the proximal portion of the clip 21 is moved to the tubular body 2. It can be accommodated inside and the distal portion can be extended distally from the distal end of the barrel 2. That is, when the slider 9 is located at the secondary stop point 12, it is preferable that only a part of the clip 21 is accommodated in the tubular body 2 with the clip 21 attached to the connecting portion 4. .. When the clip 21 is composed of the clip body 22 and the tightening ring 23, the proximal end of the tightening ring 23 is the distal end of the tube body 2 when the slider 9 is located at the secondary stop point 12. It is preferably in contact with the end. At the secondary stop point 12, the distal end of the connecting portion 4 is preferably positioned within 5.0 mm proximally from the distal end of the tubular body 2, for example.
第2次停止箇所12は、それよりも近位側にスライダー9を牽引したときにクリップ21が閉じ始める目安の位置として機能することが好ましい。これにより、術者は、第2次停止箇所12よりも近位側で慎重にスライダー9を近位側に牽引することができ、処置対象物の把持操作をより適切に行うことが可能となる。
The secondary stop point 12 preferably functions as a standard position at which the clip 21 starts to close when the slider 9 is pulled proximally. As a result, the operator can carefully pull the slider 9 to the proximal side on the proximal side of the secondary stop point 12, and it is possible to more appropriately perform the grasping operation of the treatment target. ..
スライダー9を第1次停止箇所11より近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F1と、スライダー9を第2次停止箇所12より近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F2とは、互いに同一であっても異なっていてもよい。なお、第1次停止箇所11の遠位側に隣接する区間でスライダー9を近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F0-1は、前記牽引力F1よりも小さいことが好ましく、第1次停止箇所11よりも近位側であって、第2次停止箇所12の遠位側に隣接する区間でスライダー9を近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F1-2は、前記牽引力F2よりも小さいことが好ましい。また、前記牽引力F1-2は前記牽引力F1よりも小さいことが好ましい。
The traction force F 1 required to tow the slider 9 on the proximal side of the first pause position 11, the traction force F 2 required to drive the slider 9 on the proximal side of the second pause position 12 , May be the same as or different from each other. Incidentally, the traction force F 0-1 required to tow the slider 9 proximally in a section adjacent the distal side of the first pause position 11 is preferably the less than tractive force F 1, the first The traction force F 1-2 required to pull the slider 9 proximally in the section that is proximal to the next stop point 11 and is adjacent to the distal side of the second stop point 12 is the traction force. It is preferably smaller than F 2 . The traction force F 1-2 is preferably smaller than the traction force F 1 .
内視鏡処置具1は、接続部4にクリップ21が接続されている状態において、第2次停止箇所12より近位側に、スライダー9の遠近位置を調節することによりクリップ21が開閉される開閉調整区間が存在していることが好ましい。開閉調整区間では、クリップ21の開度を可逆的に調整することができるため、クリップ21による処置対象物の把持位置をより正確に設定することが可能となる。なお、開閉調整区間では、クリップ21の近位端が筒体2の内部に存在し、かつクリップ21の遠位端が筒体2の遠位端より遠位側に存在していることが好ましく、これにより、スライダー9の遠近位置を調節することで、クリップ21の開度を調整することができる。
In the endoscopic treatment tool 1, in the state where the clip 21 is connected to the connecting portion 4, the clip 21 is opened and closed by adjusting the perspective position of the slider 9 to the proximal side of the secondary stop point 12. It is preferable that there is an opening / closing adjustment section. In the opening / closing adjustment section, since the opening degree of the clip 21 can be reversibly adjusted, it is possible to set the gripping position of the treatment target by the clip 21 more accurately. In addition, in the opening / closing adjustment section, it is preferable that the proximal end of the clip 21 exists inside the tube body 2 and the distal end of the clip 21 exists on the distal side of the distal end of the tube body 2. Accordingly, by adjusting the perspective position of the slider 9, the opening degree of the clip 21 can be adjusted.
開閉調整区間よりも近位側には、スライダー9の牽引によりクリップ21と接続部4との接続が解除される接続解除位置が存在していることが好ましい。クリップ21と接続部4との接続が解除されることにより、クリップ21が接続部4から離脱して、処置対象物をクリッピングした状態でクリップ21を体内に留置することができる。
It is preferable that a connection release position where the connection between the clip 21 and the connection portion 4 is released by pulling the slider 9 is present on the proximal side of the opening / closing adjustment section. When the connection between the clip 21 and the connection portion 4 is released, the clip 21 is detached from the connection portion 4, and the clip 21 can be left inside the body with the treatment target clipped.
内視鏡処置具1は、下記の条件3と条件4を満たすように構成されていることも好ましい。これについて図8(a)および図9(a)を参照して説明する。図8(a)には、下記条件3の第0次停止箇所でスライダー9が停止した状態が示され、図9(a)には、スライダー9が第0次停止箇所にあるときの接続部4と筒体2との位置関係が、クリップ21の状態とともに示されている。図8では、スライダー9の停止箇所を、スライダー9の近位端の遠近方向の位置で表している。
It is also preferable that the endoscopic treatment tool 1 is configured to satisfy the following conditions 3 and 4. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 8A and 9A. FIG. 8A shows a state in which the slider 9 is stopped at the 0th stop position under the following condition 3, and FIG. 9A shows a connecting portion when the slider 9 is at the 0th stop position. The positional relationship between 4 and the cylindrical body 2 is shown together with the state of the clip 21. In FIG. 8, the stopping position of the slider 9 is represented by the position of the proximal end of the slider 9 in the perspective direction.
[条件3]第1次停止箇所11よりも遠位側に第0次停止箇所10が存在しており、内視鏡処置具1の接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けていない状態において、スライダー9を近位側に向かって牽引することにより、スライダー9の可動範囲内の第0次停止箇所10においてスライダー9の少なくとも一部がハンドル本体8の少なくとも一部に当接してスライダー9の近位方向への移動が停止され、スライダー9に所定以上の牽引力を付加することにより停止が解かれてスライダー9が近位方向に移動する。
[Condition 3] The 0th stop 10 is present on the distal side of the 1st stop 11, and the slider 9 is not attached to the connecting portion 4 of the endoscopic treatment instrument 1 when the clip 21 is attached. By pulling toward the proximal side, at least part of the slider 9 abuts at least part of the handle body 8 at the 0th stop point 10 within the movable range of the slider 9 so that the slider 9 moves in the proximal direction. Is stopped, and the slider 9 is moved in the proximal direction by releasing the stop by applying a traction force of a predetermined amount or more to the slider 9.

[Condition 4] When the slider 9 is located at the 0th stop point 10, the connecting portion 4 is present on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2.
第0次停止箇所10は、内視鏡処置具1を内視鏡の鉗子チャンネルに挿入する前に接続部4へのクリップ21の取り付け作業を行う際に、接続部4が当該作業に適した位置にあることを知らせるシグナルとして機能させることができる。第0次停止箇所10はまた、接続部4にクリップ21を取り付ける際に、線材3の近位方向への移動を阻止するストッパーとしても機能し、接続部4へのクリップ21の取り付け作業を容易にする。
When the clip 21 is attached to the connecting portion 4 before the endoscopic treatment tool 1 is inserted into the forceps channel of the endoscope, the 0th stop portion 10 is suitable for the connecting portion 4. It can act as a signal that you are in position. The 0th stop point 10 also functions as a stopper that prevents the wire rod 3 from moving in the proximal direction when the clip 21 is attached to the connection portion 4, and facilitates the work of attaching the clip 21 to the connection portion 4. To
スライダー9が第0次停止箇所10に位置しているとき、接続部4は筒体2の遠位端よりも遠位側に存在している。このとき、接続部4の全部が筒体2の遠位端よりも遠位側に存在していてもよく、接続部4の一部のみが筒体2の遠位端よりも遠位側に存在していてもよいが、前者の態様の方が好ましい。第0次停止箇所10における接続部4の遠位端の位置は、接続部4へのクリップ21の取り付け作業のしやすさを勘案して適宜設定することができ、例えば、第0次停止箇所10では、接続部4の遠位端は筒体2の遠位端よりも5.0mm以上25.0mm以下遠位側に位置することが好ましい。なお、接続部4にクリップ21を取り付けた状態では、スライダー9が第0次停止箇所10に位置しているとき、クリップ21の全部が筒体2の遠位端よりも遠位側に存在していることが好ましい。
When the slider 9 is located at the 0th stop point 10, the connecting portion 4 is present on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2. At this time, the entire connecting portion 4 may be present on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2, and only a part of the connecting portion 4 may be placed on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2. Although it may be present, the former aspect is preferred. The position of the distal end of the connection portion 4 at the 0th stop portion 10 can be appropriately set in consideration of the ease of the work of attaching the clip 21 to the connection portion 4, for example, the 0th stop portion. In 10, the distal end of the connecting portion 4 is preferably located on the distal side of 5.0 mm or more and 25.0 mm or less with respect to the distal end of the tubular body 2. In the state where the clip 21 is attached to the connecting portion 4, when the slider 9 is located at the 0th stop position 10, all of the clip 21 exists on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2. Preferably.
第0次停止箇所10から第1次停止箇所11までの遠近方向の長さは、第1次停止箇所11から第2次停止箇所12までの遠近方向の長さよりも長いことが好ましい。例えば、第0次停止箇所10から第1次停止箇所11までの遠近方向の長さは、第1次停止箇所11から第2次停止箇所12までの遠近方向の長さの2倍以上が好ましく、3倍以上がより好ましく、4倍以上がさらに好ましい。このように各停止箇所を設定することにより、ハンドル7を目視しなくても、スライダー9の遠近方向への移動操作の際に、スライダー9が第0次停止箇所10と第1次停止箇所11の間にあるのか、第1次停止箇所11と第2次停止箇所12の間にあるのか判断しやすくなる。
The perspective length from the 0th stop point 10 to the 1st stop point 11 is preferably longer than the perspective length from the 1st stop point 11 to the 2nd stop point 12. For example, the length in the perspective direction from the 0th stop point 10 to the primary stop point 11 is preferably twice or more the length in the perspective direction from the primary stop point 11 to the secondary stop point 12. 3 times or more is more preferable, 4 times or more is still more preferable. By setting the respective stop points in this way, the slider 9 can be moved to the 0th stop point 10 and the 1st stop point 11 when the slider 9 is moved in the perspective direction without observing the handle 7. It becomes easy to determine whether it is between the first stop location 11 and the second stop location 12.
スライダー9を第0次停止箇所10より近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F0は、スライダー9を第1次停止箇所11より近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F1およびスライダー9を第2次停止箇所12より近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F2と、同一であっても異なっていてもよい。第0次停止箇所10の遠位側にスライダー9を遠近方向に移動可能な区間が存在する場合は、第0次停止箇所10の遠位側に隣接する区間でスライダー9を近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力FD-0は牽引力F0よりも小さいことが好ましい。また、第0次停止箇所10よりも近位側であって、第1次停止箇所11の遠位側に隣接する区間でスライダー9を近位側に牽引するのに必要な牽引力F0-1は、前記牽引力F0よりも小さいことが好ましい。
Tractive force required to drive the slider 9 on the proximal side than the zero-order stop portion 10 F 0 is the traction force F 1 and the slider required to tow the slider 9 on the proximal side of the first pause position 11 The pulling force F 2 required for pulling 9 closer to the proximal side than the second stop point 12 may be the same or different. When there is a section where the slider 9 can move in the perspective direction on the distal side of the 0th stop point 10, the slider 9 is pulled proximally on the section adjacent to the distal side of the 0th stop point 10. It is preferable that the traction force F D-0 required to do so is smaller than the traction force F 0 .

Is preferably smaller than the traction force F 0 .
第0次停止箇所10の遠位側にはスライダー9の可動範囲の遠位端が存在することが好ましい。このとき、接続部4へのクリップ21の取り付け作業を容易にする点から、スライダー9の可動範囲の遠位端から第0次停止箇所10に至るまでの長さは、3.0mm以下が好ましく、1.5mm以下がより好ましい。これにより、接続部4へのクリップ21の取り付け作業の際に、接続部4や線材3の遠近方向への移動が抑えられ、当該作業が容易になる。スライダー9の可動範囲の遠位端から第0次停止箇所10までの遠近方向の長さは、第0次停止箇所10から第1次停止箇所11までの遠近方向の長さよりも短いことが好ましい。例えば、第0次停止箇所10から第1次停止箇所11までの遠近方向の長さは、スライダー9の可動範囲の遠位端から第0次停止箇所10までの遠近方向の長さの2倍以上が好ましく、3倍以上がより好ましく、4倍以上がさらに好ましい。スライダー9の可動範囲の遠位端は、図8(a)では、スライダー9が最も遠位側にあるときのスライダー9の近位端の位置で表される。
It is preferable that the distal end of the movable range of the slider 9 exists on the distal side of the 0th stop point 10. At this time, the length from the distal end of the movable range of the slider 9 to the 0th stop point 10 is preferably 3.0 mm or less from the viewpoint of facilitating the work of attaching the clip 21 to the connecting portion 4. , 1.5 mm or less is more preferable. As a result, when the clip 21 is attached to the connecting portion 4, movement of the connecting portion 4 and the wire 3 in the perspective direction is suppressed, and the operation is facilitated. The perspective length from the distal end of the movable range of the slider 9 to the 0th stop point 10 is preferably shorter than the perspective length from the 0th stop point 10 to the 1st stop point 11. .. For example, the length in the perspective direction from the 0th stop point 10 to the primary stop point 11 is twice the length in the perspective direction from the distal end of the movable range of the slider 9 to the 0th stop point 10. The above is preferable, 3 times or more is more preferable, and 4 times or more is further preferable.

第3次停止箇所13は、クリップ21による処置対象物の把持操作後、スライダー9をさらに近位側に牽引することにより、クリップ21と接続部4の接続が解除され、接続部4がクリップ21と離れた位置にあることを知らせるシグナルとして機能させることができる。第3次停止箇所13は、上記に説明した接続解除位置よりも近位側に位置する。術者は、スライダー9を第3次停止箇所13まで牽引することにより、クリップ21による把持操作とクリップ21の留置操作が完了したことを手元で感知することができる。
At the third stop position 13, after the gripping operation of the treatment target with the clip 21, the slider 9 is further pulled toward the proximal side, so that the connection between the clip 21 and the connection portion 4 is released, and the connection portion 4 is connected to the clip 21. It can be used as a signal to notify you that you are far away. The third stop point 13 is located closer to the proximal side than the disconnection position described above. By pulling the slider 9 to the third stop position 13, the operator can detect by hand that the gripping operation by the clip 21 and the indwelling operation of the clip 21 are completed.
スライダー9が第3次停止箇所13に位置しているとき、接続部4の全部が筒体2内に収容される。第3次停止箇所13では、接続部4の遠位端は、接続部4に取り付けていたクリップ21の遠近方向の長さ分以上、筒体2の遠位端よりも近位側に位置することが好ましく、例えば、筒体2の遠位端よりも少なくとも7.0mm以上近位側に位置することが好ましく、10.0mm以上近位側に位置することがより好ましい。なお、ハンドル7の操作性を考慮すると、第3次停止箇所13における接続部4の遠位端の位置は、筒体2の遠位端よりも近位側に50.0mm以内とすることが好ましい。

At the third stop position 13, the distal end of the connecting portion 4 is located on the proximal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2 by the length in the perspective direction of the clip 21 attached to the connecting portion 4 or more. Preferably, for example, it is located at least 7.0 mm or more proximal from the distal end of the tubular body 2, and more preferably 10.0 mm or more proximally. Considering the operability of the handle 7, the position of the distal end of the connecting portion 4 at the third stop position 13 may be within 50.0 mm on the proximal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2. preferable.
第3次停止箇所13は、スライダー9の可動範囲の近位端と一致していてもよく、第3次停止箇所13の近位側にスライダー9の可動範囲の近位端が存在していてもよい。後者の場合、条件5は、スライダー9を近位側に向かって牽引することにより、スライダー9の可動範囲内の第3次停止箇所13においてスライダー9の少なくとも一部がハンドル本体8の少なくとも一部に当接してスライダー9の近位方向への移動が停止され、スライダー9に所定以上の牽引力を付加することにより前記停止が解かれてスライダー9が近位方向に移動するものとなる。スライダー9の可動範囲の近位端は、図8(b)では、スライダー9が最も近位側にあるときのスライダー9の近位端の位置で表される。
The third stop point 13 may coincide with the proximal end of the movable range of the slider 9, and the proximal end of the moveable range of the slider 9 exists on the proximal side of the third stop point 13.

In the latter case, the condition 5 is that by pulling the slider 9 toward the proximal side, at least a part of the slider 9 is at least a part of the handle body 8 at the third stop position 13 within the movable range of the slider 9. The slider 9 is stopped from moving in the proximal direction by applying a pulling force of a predetermined value or more to the slider 9, and the slider 9 is moved in the proximal direction. In FIG. 8B, the proximal end of the movable range of the slider 9 is represented by the position of the proximal end of the slider 9 when the slider 9 is on the most proximal side.

The perspective length from the secondary stop point 12 to the tertiary stop point 13 is preferably longer than the perspective length from the primary stop point 11 to the secondary stop point 12. For example, the length in the perspective direction from the secondary stop point 12 to the third stop point 13 is preferably twice or more the length in the perspective direction from the primary stop point 11 to the secondary stop point 12. 3 times or more is more preferable, 4 times or more is still more preferable. By thus setting the respective stop points, the slider 9 pulls the slider 9 to the proximal side and closes the clip 21 without visually observing the handle 7, and the slider 9 causes the primary stop point 11 and the second stop point to move. It becomes easy to determine whether it is between the next stop points 12 or between the second stop point 12 and the third stop point 13.

Is a traction force F 1 required to pull the slider 9 proximally from the first stop point 11 and a traction force F 2 required to pull the slider 9 proximally from the second stop point 12. , May be the same or different. The traction force F 3 may be the same as or different from the traction force F 0 required to pull the slider 9 proximally from the 0th stop point 10. The traction force F 2-3 required to pull the slider 9 proximally in a section that is proximal to the secondary stop location 12 and adjacent to the distal side of the tertiary stop location 13 is provided.

上記に説明した第0次停止箇所~第3次停止箇所は、ハンドル本体8に対するスライダー9の相対位置を表し、各停止箇所は、スライダー9の可動範囲内においてスライダー9を遠位側から近位側に所定の牽引力で牽引した際に、スライダー9の少なくとも一部がハンドル本体8の少なくとも一部に当接してスライダー9の近位側への移動が停止する位置として規定される。このような当接は、簡便には、スライダー9がハンドル本体8に対向する面と、ハンドル本体8がスライダー9に対向する面に、凸部や凹部を設けることにより実現することができる。
The 0th stop position to the 3rd stop position described above represent the relative positions of the slider 9 with respect to the handle body 8, and each stop position moves the slider 9 from the distal side to the proximal side within the movable range of the slider 9. It is defined as a position where at least a part of the slider 9 comes into contact with at least a part of the handle body 8 and the movement of the slider 9 to the proximal side is stopped when the slider 9 is pulled by a predetermined pulling force. Such contact can be simply realized by providing a convex portion or a concave portion on the surface where the slider 9 faces the handle body 8 and the surface where the handle body 8 faces the slider 9.
図10には、ハンドル7の遠近方向の断面図を示し、図11には、図10に示したハンドル7をハンドル本体8とスライダー9とに分離して表した断面図を示した。図11では、スライダー9を近位側に牽引したときに第1次停止箇所と第2次停止箇所を与える遠近方向の位置を一点鎖線で表している。
FIG. 10 shows a cross-sectional view of the handle 7 in the perspective direction, and FIG. 11 shows a cross-sectional view showing the handle 7 shown in FIG. 10 separated into a handle body 8 and a slider 9. In FIG. 11, the position in the perspective direction, which gives the primary stop position and the secondary stop position when the slider 9 is pulled to the proximal side, is indicated by a chain line.

The position where the handle main body side convex portion 14 and the slider side convex portion 15 contact when the slider 9 is pulled from the distal side to the proximal side can be set as the above-mentioned stop point. Specifically, the position where the surface on the distal side of the handle body-side convex portion 14 and the surface on the proximal side of the slider-side convex portion 15 contact is the above-mentioned stop position. In FIGS. 10 and 11, the 0th stop position, the 1st stop position, and the 2nd stop position are realized by the contact between the handle main body side convex portion 14 and the slider side convex portion 15. On the other hand, the third stop position is realized by the proximal end of the slider 9 contacting the proximal end of the movable range of the slider 9, that is, a part of the handle body 8.
図10では、遠近方向に対する位置として、スライダー側凸部15を1箇所設け、ハンドル本体側凸部14を3箇所設けているが、スライダー側凸部15を2箇所以上設けてもよく、またハンドル本体側凸部14を1箇所または2箇所のみ設けたり、4箇所以上設けてもよい。また、ハンドル本体側凸部14の少なくとも1つを凹部に代えて、ハンドル本体側凹部とスライダー側凸部15とが当接する位置を上記の停止箇所としたり、スライダー側凸部15の少なくとも1つを凹部に代えて、ハンドル本体側凸部14とスライダー側凹部とが当接する位置を上記の停止箇所とすることもできる。このような構造を採用し、第2次停止箇所12の凸部上を開閉調整区間とすることが好ましい。
In FIG. 10, the slider-side convex portion 15 is provided at one position and the handle main-body-side convex portion 14 is provided at three positions as positions in the perspective direction, but the slider-side convex portion 15 may be provided at two or more positions. The main body side convex portion 14 may be provided at only one place or two places, or may be provided at four or more places. Further, at least one of the handle main body side convex portions 14 is replaced with a concave portion, and the position where the handle main body side concave portion and the slider side convex portion 15 contact each other is set as the above stopping point, or at least one of the slider side convex portion 15 is used. In place of the concave portion, the position where the handle main body side convex portion 14 and the slider side concave portion abut can be set as the above stop point. It is preferable to adopt such a structure and to set the opening / closing adjustment section above the convex portion of the secondary stop point 12.
ハンドル本体側凸部14、ハンドル本体側凹部、スライダー側凸部15、スライダー側凹部は、ハンドル本体8やスライダー9の形状に応じて、適宜形状を選択することができる。例えば、ハンドル本体8の外形やスライダー9の外形が円筒状である場合は、ハンドル7の遠近方向に垂直な断面の円周上に凸部や凹部を設けることができる。凸部や凹部は円周上で連続する形状であってもよく、1つまたは複数の凸部または凹部が円周上で断続的に設けられてもよい。また、ハンドル本体側凸部または凹部を円周上に連続的に設け、スライダー側凸部または凹部を円周上に1つまたは複数の突起または窪みとして設けてもよく、またその逆の態様で設けることもできる。
The shape of the handle body-side convex portion 14, the handle body-side concave portion, the slider-side convex portion 15, and the slider-side concave portion can be appropriately selected according to the shapes of the handle body 8 and the slider 9. For example, when the outer shape of the handle main body 8 and the outer shape of the slider 9 are cylindrical, a convex portion or a concave portion can be provided on the circumference of a cross section of the handle 7 which is perpendicular to the perspective direction. The protrusions and recesses may have a continuous shape on the circumference, or one or more protrusions or recesses may be provided intermittently on the circumference.

なお上記の説明では、スライダー9の可動範囲内においてスライダー9を遠位側から近位側に向かって牽引したときにスライダー9の近位方向への移動が停止する箇所として、第0次停止箇所~第3次停止箇所を規定したが、各停止箇所によりスライダー9の可動範囲を区分して、次のように第1係止部と第2係止部を規定することもできる。すなわち、スライダー9の可動範囲の遠位端から第0次停止箇所10の間の区間を第1係止部とし、第1次停止箇所11から第2次停止箇所12の間の区間を第2係止部と規定することができる。第1係止部と第2係止部の位置関係の詳細は、上記の第0次停止箇所~第3次停止箇所の説明に基づき、適宜読み替えることができる。
Note that, in the above description, when the slider 9 is pulled from the distal side to the proximal side within the movable range of the slider 9, the 0th stop position is defined as the position where the movement of the slider 9 in the proximal direction stops. Although the third stop position is defined, the movable range of the slider 9 may be divided by each stop position to define the first locking part and the second locking part as follows. That is, the section between the distal end of the movable range of the slider 9 and the 0th stop point 10 is the first locking portion, and the section between the primary stop point 11 and the secondary stop point 12 is the second. It can be defined as a locking part. The details of the positional relationship between the first locking portion and the second locking portion can be appropriately read based on the above description of the 0th stop position to the 3rd stop position.
ハンドル7は、スライダー9の遠近方向の動きを規制する第1係止部および第2係止部を有し、スライダー9が第1係止部により係止されているときは、接続部4の遠位端が筒体2の遠位端より突出し、スライダー9が第2係止部により係止されているときは、接続部4の遠位端が筒体2の内腔内に配置されていることが好ましい。なお、接続部4の遠位端が筒体2の遠位端より突出している状態は、接続部4の遠位端が筒体2の遠位端よりも遠位側に位置することに相当し、接続部4の遠位端が筒体2の内腔内に配置されている状態は、接続部4の遠位端が筒体2の遠位端よりも近位側に位置することに相当する。この場合、スライダー9を第1係止部に係止させることにより、接続部4へのクリップ21の取り付け作業が容易になる。スライダー9を第2係止部に係止させることにより、クリップ21による処置対象物の把持操作の準備に入り、スライダー9を第2係止部よりも近位側に牽引することにより、クリップ21による実際の把持操作を開始することができる。
The handle 7 has a first locking portion and a second locking portion that restrict the movement of the slider 9 in the perspective direction. When the slider 9 is locked by the first locking portion, the handle 7 When the distal end projects from the distal end of the tubular body 2 and the slider 9 is locked by the second locking portion, the distal end of the connecting portion 4 is arranged in the inner cavity of the tubular body 2. Is preferred. The state in which the distal end of the connecting portion 4 projects from the distal end of the tubular body 2 is equivalent to the distal end of the connecting portion 4 being located on the distal side of the distal end of the tubular body 2. However, the state in which the distal end of the connection portion 4 is arranged in the inner cavity of the tubular body 2 means that the distal end of the connection portion 4 is located closer to the proximal side than the distal end of the tubular body 2. Equivalent to. In this case, by attaching the slider 9 to the first engaging portion, the work of attaching the clip 21 to the connecting portion 4 becomes easy. By locking the slider 9 to the second locking portion, preparation for gripping an object to be treated by the clip 21 is started, and by pulling the slider 9 to the proximal side of the second locking portion, the clip 21 The actual gripping operation by can be started.
内視鏡処置具1が外側筒体6を備える場合は、スライダー9が第1係止部により係止されているときの位置と、第2係止部により係止されているときの位置との間に配置されている状態で、クリップ21が外側筒体6の遠位端から出し入れ可能となっていることが好ましい。すなわち、スライダー9が第1係止部により係止されているときの位置と、第2係止部により係止されているときの位置との間に配置されている場合に、外側筒体6を筒体2に対して最遠位に移動させることで外側筒体6がクリップ21を内包し、外側筒体6を筒体2に対して最近位に移動させることでクリップ21が外側筒体6から露出するように形成されていることが好ましい。また、スライダー9が第2係止部により係止されているときに、このようにクリップ21が外側筒体6の遠位端から出し入れ可能となっていることが好ましい。
