  • Patent number: 10492794
    Abstract: 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. The treatment instrument body (90) is inserted into the insertion hole (43), and an operation wire is pressed forward so that a distal connection portion and a diameter enlargement portion of the sleeve protrude from the sheath to a distal side and enter the second accommodation region (42), and so that a diameter enlargement portion is elastically enlarged in diameter.

  • Publication number: 20180333156
    Abstract: The present invention provides an endoscopic clip device and a clip in which a connection operation between a clip and an operation wire is facilitated, and in which a procedure can be quickly performed by reducing an exchange frequency of a treatment instrument body. An endoscopic clip device (100) according to the present invention includes a clip (110) that has a plurality of arms (120) for gripping a living body tissue and a locking portion (130), and a treatment instrument body that comprises an elongated sheath (10) and an operation wire (20) in which a chunky distal connection portion (50) is disposed in a distal end. In a state where the distal connection portion (50) is accommodated in an accommodation portion (134), the operation wire (20) is drawn to a proximal side in a forward/backward movement direction so that the arms (120) are closed to grip the living body tissue.

  • Patent number: 9919135
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8303607
    Abstract: 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.
