Patent number: 11730343Abstract: An endoscope treatment tool includes: a cylindrical cap attached to an outer side of a distal-end section of an endoscope and having first and second radial directions intersecting each other; a treatment tool supported at an outer side of the cap in the first radial direction to be movable in the longitudinal direction; and a linear flexible coupling member coupling the treatment tool with the cap such that the grasper reaches a position where the grasper protrudes from a distal end of the cap. A swing section of the coupling member couples the cap with the treatment tool to allow relative movement in the second radial direction, and, in response to pressed forward in the longitudinal direction by the treatment tool, swings about a swing axis extending in the second radial direction while generating a tensile force and bending the treatment tool inward in the first radial direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignees: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Naohisa Yahagi, Yasuhiro Tabuchi, Yuya Hidaka

Publication number: 20220240763Abstract: An endoscope cap includes: a hood portion attached to a distal end portion of an endoscope; a cap portion connected to a distal end of the hood portion, having an abutting surface against which the endoscope is abutted in a state of the endoscope being inserted into the hood portion, and protruding from the distal end of the hood portion; a channel tube into which an elongated device is inserted; and a coupling member for coupling the device with the hood portion, the member being supported by the hood portion and extending along the hood portion. The hood portion has a pair of support holes into which the member is inserted. The member is pivotable with respect to the hood portion, with the individual support holes serving as fulcrums. The holes are formed at positions closer to a proximal end of the hood portion than the abutting surface is.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Yuya HIDAKA, Yuya MATSUOKA, Junji SHIONO

Patent number: 11369407Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed to a method of operating a treatment tool for excising a lesioned portion of a body tissue. The method comprises applying a treatment tool to the lesioned portion. The treatment tool includes an elongated sheath having a snare wire disposed therein. The snare wire is configured to be movable forward or backward along a longitudinal direction. Next, forming the snare wire into a loop and tilting the loop in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elongated sheath with a force tending to push a snare wire portion out of a distal-end opening of the elongated sheath. And finally, placing the loop around the lesioned portion of the body tissue to excise the lesioned portion in a state in which the snare wire positioned transverse to the lesioned portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Yasuhiro Tabuchi, Yuya Hidaka
