Patent number: 10492794Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a clip cartridge in which a clip having a structure enabling a user to easily perform a series of procedures can be easily and reliably mounted on a treatment instrument body. A clip cartridge (200) according to the present invention includes an inner case (30) that has a first accommodation region (32) for accommodating a clip (110), and an outer case (40) that has an elongated insertion hole (43) into which a treatment instrument body (90) is inserted, and a second accommodation region (42) which accommodates the inner case (30) so as to be movable.

Patent number: 9919135Abstract: The present invention provides a sheath for gastrostoma (1), a sheathed dilator, a gastrostomy catheter kit and a method of splitting a sheath for gastrostoma. The sheath for gastrostoma (1) includes a sheath body (11) in which a gastrostomy catheter (2) is inserted and a handle (12). The sheath for gastrostoma (1) lowers the insertion resistance of a gastrostomy catheter when inserted in a fistula before insertion of the gastrostomy catheter in the fistula for replacement in the patient's body. According to the invention, a sheath for gastrostoma, a sheathed dilator, a sheath for gastrostoma with insertion aid, a gastrostomy catheter kit and a method of splitting a sheath for gastrostoma which can lower the insertion resistance during placement of a catheter in the patient's body, facilitate air supply control of an endoscope and stabilize endoscopic visual field during surgery are provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignees: SUMITOMO BAKELITE CO., LTD.Inventors: Yutaka Suzuki, Hideaki Matsunami, Yukihiko Sakaguchi, Masao Ikeda, Tomokazu Nakayama, Keiji Kamada, Ryo Tanaka

Patent number: 8303607Abstract: A medical device includes a main body elongated in a vertical direction. A guide section protrudes from a lower end of the main body in a direction crossing the vertical direction and includes first and second guide holes. A first unit includes a first puncture needle slidably supported by the main body near an upper end of the first puncture needle in the vertical direction and having a sharp lower end slidably inserted into the first guide hole from above. The first unit has a first holding plate integrally fixed to the first puncture needle. A second unit includes a second puncture needle slidably inserted into the second guide hole from above and a second holding plate integrally fixed to the second puncture needle. The second holding plate separably abuts on the first holding plate from above. A position of the second guide hole is selectable along the guide section.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2008Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignees: Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yutaka Suzuki, Hideaki Matsunami, Yukihiko Sakaguchi, Masao Ikeda, Yasunori Kojo
