Abstract: The disclosed technology is directed to a treatment system comprises a power supply apparatus and a treatment instrument configured to communicate electrically so as to perform an operation on a biological tissue. The treatment instrument includes an end effector that transmits a high-frequency current to the biological tissue. An ultrasonic transducer is disposed in the treatment instrument. The ultrasonic transducer generates ultrasonic vibration when a second electrical energy is supplied. The ultrasonic transducer delivers the ultrasonic vibration to the end effector. The power supply apparatus includes a processor that supplies the first electrical energy to the end effector with a first voltage waveform about which a crest factor is equal to or lower than 1.5 and controls output of the first electrical energy in a manner that the biological tissue is degenerated and coagulated due to flowing of the high-frequency current in the biological tissue with no discharge occurs.

Abstract: A grasping treatment instrument can be opened and closed between a first grasping jaw and a second grasping jaw. The first grasping jaw includes, on its outer front surface, a grasping surface opposing the second grasping jaw, a back surface facing an opposite side to the grasping surface, and inclined surfaces arranged extending from a side of the back surface toward a side of the grasping surface as the inclined surfaces become away from a central position in a width direction, and are inclined relative to the back surface. In the first grasping jaw, a liquid is supplied from a liquid inlet portion onto the inclined surfaces by way of the back surface, and the liquid flows out from the inclined surfaces toward the side of the grasping surface.
