 図14は、図4の示す領域A1を拡大した断面図である。図14に示すように、超音波処置具1は、筒状をなし、シース5の内側に位置し、超音波プローブ3を覆うインナーチューブ6と、超音波プローブ3の表面にライニングが施されており、超音波プローブ3とインナーチューブ6との間を水密に保つライニング部材7と、を備える。 FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view enlarging the area A1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, the ultrasonic treatment instrument 1 has a tubular shape, is positioned inside a sheath 5, and has an inner tube 6 that covers the ultrasonic probe 3 and a lining on the surface of the ultrasonic probe 3. and a lining member 7 for keeping the space between the ultrasonic probe 3 and the inner tube 6 watertight.
 ライニング部材7は、超音波プローブ3の外表面からシース5側に向かって突出する突出部71を有する。そして、超音波プローブ3は、ライニング部材7を介してシース5に保持されている。 The lining member 7 has a protrusion 71 that protrudes from the outer surface of the ultrasonic probe 3 toward the sheath 5 side. The ultrasonic probe 3 is held by the sheath 5 via the lining member 7 .
 図15は、図4の示す領域A2を拡大した断面図である。図15に示すように、超音波処置具1は、超音波プローブ3の表面にライニングが施されており、超音波プローブ3とインナーチューブ6との間を水密に保つライニング部材8を備える。 FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view enlarging the area A2 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the ultrasonic treatment instrument 1 has a lining on the surface of the ultrasonic probe 3 and includes a lining member 8 that keeps the space between the ultrasonic probe 3 and the inner tube 6 watertight.
 ライニング部材8は、超音波プローブ3の外表面からシース5側に向かって突出する突出部81と、突出部81の先端側に位置し、厚さが所定値以上である肉厚部82と、を有する。そして、超音波プローブ3は、ライニング部材8を介してシース5に保持されている。 The lining member 8 includes a protruding portion 81 protruding from the outer surface of the ultrasonic probe 3 toward the sheath 5, a thick portion 82 located on the distal end side of the protruding portion 81 and having a thickness equal to or greater than a predetermined value, have The ultrasonic probe 3 is held by the sheath 5 via the lining member 8 .
 ここで、肉厚部82の機能を説明する。図16は、超音波プローブに負荷がかかっていない場合のライニング部材の様子を表す図である。図16に示すように、超音波プローブ3に負荷がかかっていない状態では、ライニング部材8の突出部81がインナーチューブ6に押圧されて厚さΔ1だけつぶされている。 Here, the function of the thick portion 82 will be explained. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the state of the lining member when no load is applied to the ultrasonic probe.
