  • Patent number: 9993289
    Abstract: A treatment device configured to hold a living tissue includes a swing member supported by a first grasping member and rotatable in a first direction and in an opposite direction opposite to the first direction. A support shaft of the swing member is supported on a side close to the distal end including a middle position between the distal end and the proximal end. A first holding surface is provided on the swing member close to a side of the second grasping member and grasps the living tissue. A second holding surface is provided on the second grasping member close to a side of the swing member and which faces the first holding surface and which is configured to hold the living tissue together with the first holding surface of the swing member.

  • Publication number: 20160030071
    Abstract: A treatment device which applies energy to a biological tissue to treat the biological tissue, includes: an interlocking mechanism that regulates at least one of a closing time until first and second jaws reach a closed state from an opened state when one operation is input into an operating body for a handle, and a unit closing amount from the opened state toward the closed state, interlocks at least one of the first and second jaws with the operating body, and is interposed between the operating body and the handle; and an elastic member that is disposed in the interlocking mechanism, couples the operating body with the handle, pulls the operating body toward the handle at a constant load or a constant pressure, and regulates the closing time until the closed state is reached from the opened state.

  • Publication number: 20140276805
    Abstract: A treatment portion of a treatment device includes a pair of jaws, an energy emitter, a base having has electric insulation, an outer edge, first to third channels and a support portion. The first channel is formed by the energy emitter, the base, and the outer edge, fluid emanating from the living tissue of the treatment target flows into the first channel. The second channels are provided between the base and the outer edge. The third channel is provided between the outer edge and the energy emitter to allow the fluid emanating from the living tissue to flow toward the first channel. The support portion couples the base to the outer edge so that the fluid emanating from the living tissue flows into the first channel, and supports the living tissue to prevent it from coming into the first channel when it is held between the pair of jaws.
