Patent number: 11712286Abstract: In a treatment system, an energy treatment instrument includes a pair of grasping pieces. An energy output source outputs electric energy to the energy treatment instrument, thereby applying treatment energy to a blood vessel grasped between the grasping pieces. A measurement section measures a blood pressure at a site related to the grasped blood vessel. A processor controls output of the electric energy from the energy output source based on a measurement result obtained by the measurement section, and thereby switches an actuation state of the energy treatment instrument between a first mode for coagulating the blood vessel and a second mode for coagulating the blood vessel target that is different from the first mode.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2018Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Tsuyoshi Hayashida, Satomi Sakao, Tatsuro Yamamoto

Patent number: 11413059Abstract: An energy surgical instrument includes first and second grasping pieces for grasping a blood vessel. At least one of the grasping pieces is designed to apply treatment energy to a grasped blood vessel. The instrument also includes a processor designed to set a wall thickness of the blood vessel, and a grasping force adjuster designed to adjust a grasping force applied by the first and second grasping pieces. A first grasping force is applied when the wall thickness set by the processor is larger than a predetermined thickness, and a second grasping force, which is larger than the first grasping force, is applied when the wall thickness set by the processor is equal to or smaller than the predetermined thickness. A treatment method includes applying treatment energy to a blood vessel grasped by the first and second grasping pieces of the instrument to seal the blood vessel.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Marina Kobayashi, Yuji Hirai, Satomi Sakao, Takeshi Onaga, Kazuhiro Morisaki, Katsushi Ide
