  • Patent number: 10813660
    Abstract: An ultrasonic treatment device includes a first vibration transmitting member and a second vibration transmitting member and being configured to treat a biological tissue by means of vibration transmitted by the first vibration transmitting member and the second vibration transmitting member. At a boundary position between the first vibration transmitting member and the second vibration transmitting member, the first vibration transmitting member has a boundary face including a contacting area that is in contact with the second vibration transmitting member at the face, and a non-contacting area that is not in contact with the second vibration transmitting member.

  • Publication number: 20170186567
    Abstract: An operation input unit includes a board unit including a switch, and a base. An external force application portion moves by a button portion being pushed, and changes an open or closed state of the switch by varying an external force acting on the board unit in accordance with the movement. A board deflection portion forms a space between the board deflection portion and the base in a state that the button portion is not pushed, and deflects toward a movement direction of the external force application portion by the external force application portion moving by the pushing of the button portion.

  • Publication number: 20070239029
    Abstract: An ultrasonic operating apparatus having an ultrasonic oscillator to generate ultrasonic oscillation, an oscillation transmitting member for transmitting ultrasonic oscillation, which has a proximal end connected to the ultrasonic oscillator, a jaw which grasps a living tissue in a clearance to the distal end of the oscillation transmitting member, a control unit which opens/closes the jaw with respect to the distal end of the oscillation transmitting member, and an instruction unit which detects that the jaw is closed by the control unit, and instructs the ultrasonic oscillator to output oscillation energy to generate ultrasonic oscillation when the jaw is closed.

  • Publication number: 20060235455
    Abstract: An ultrasonic trocar includes a handpiece unit, a dilator, and a tubular cannula. The handpiece unit includes an ultrasonic transducer and a probe. The handpiece unit forms a puncture hole in a somatic wall by a tip end of the probe with ultrasonic vibration transmitted to the probe tip end from the transducer. The dilator includes a tubular body and a sheath. The body portion has a dilating portion which expands the puncture hole of the body wall, and the probe is inserted through from a proximal end portion of the body portion. The sheath is arranged in a state of protruding from a distal end portion of the body portion, and covers the peripheral surface of the probe with the probe tip end remained. The cannula includes the dilator inserted therethrough and is kept retained to the puncture hole expanded by the expanding portion.
