  • Patent number: 10068498
    Abstract: An organ model for endoscope includes: a basic shape part formed by imitating a shape of a tubular organ; and a tissue holding part that holds a tissue piece and is detachably provided with respect to the basic shape part. The tissue holding part includes: a main body that is formed in a tubular shape and has a window part communicating with an internal space, on an outer peripheral surface; and a fixing member that fixes the tissue piece on the main body such that at least a portion of the tissue piece overlaps the window part. The main body is rotatable in a circumferential direction of the main body with respect to the basic shape part, in a state where the main body is attached to the basic shape part.

  • Patent number: 10043416
    Abstract: A model for an endoscope includes a tissue holding portion including: a first member which has a through hole, which is hard, and which is formed in a frame shape; and a second member which is formed in a sheet shape with a material that is more flexible than the first member and is elastically deformable, which has a window portion that penetrates the second member in a thickness direction of the second member, and which is attached to the first member. A piece of tissue is attached to the second member such that the piece of tissue overlaps the window portion, and the second member is attached to the first member in a state in which the second member is elastically deformed so that tension acts on the second member.

  • Patent number: 8986326
    Abstract: Provided is a grasper including an introduction tube that is capable of being inserted into a body cavity; an operational elongate body that is inserted into the introduction tube so as to advance and retract; and a clip that is attached to a distal end portion of the introduction tube and is operated by the relative movement between the operational elongate body and the introduction tube so as to grasp a body tissue, then is indwelled in a body. The clip has a plurality of grasping arms which are operated to be moved by the operational elongate body or the introduction tube, at least in a direction where the grasping arms are closed, so as to grasp the body tissue; and a retracting portion which retracts a portion of the body tissue between the plurality of grasping arms.

  • Patent number: 8690899
    Abstract: A ligation apparatus that ligatures living tissue using a clip and provides an optimal ligation apparatus for ligaturing living tissue in a body cavity. The ligation apparatus includes a clip with a clip claw member that is advanced and retreated relative to a pressing member to open and close, a sheath configured to accommodate the clip such that the clip claw member is not exposed to the outside, an advance and retreat restricting mechanism which restricts advance and retreat of the pressing member relative to the sheath at a distal end portion of the sheath and allows advance and retreat of the clip claw member relative to the pressing member according to advance and retreat of the operation wire relative to the sheath to allow the clip ligaturing living tissue, and a releasing mechanism which releases at least a portion of the clip when the clip ligatures the living tissue.
