  • Patent number: 11020126
    Abstract: An endoscopic surgical device that includes: a sheath; a manipulator; a manipulation wire; a clip body having a pair of arms, connected to a distal end of the manipulation wire, and configured to be capable of advancing and retracting in accordance with manipulation of the manipulator along with a longitudinal axis of the manipulation wire; a holding tube into which a proximal portion of the clip body is inserted to be capable of advancing and retracting; and a biasing member configured to hold a position of the manipulation wire at an initial position. The clip body is nonrotatable around the longitudinal axis at the initial position. When the manipulation wire is advanced a prescribed amount against a biasing force of the biasing member, the clip body is rotatable around the longitudinal axis, and is allowed adjustment of an opening-closing direction of the pair of arms.

  • Patent number: 10905435
    Abstract: An endoscope treatment tool includes: a sheath; a clip unit; a biasing member arranged between a distal end part of the sheath and the clip unit; and a first rotation preventing part capable of preventing the clip unit from rotating relative to the distal end part of the sheath about a longitudinal axis. The clip unit includes: a clip body; a holding tube; and a second rotation preventing part capable of preventing the clip body from rotating relative to the holding tubes about the longitudinal axis. The biasing member biases the holding tube so as to separate from the distal end part of the sheath. When a proximal end part of the holding tube comes into contact with the distal end part of the sheath against the biasing force of the biasing member, the first rotation preventing part prevents the relative rotation of the clip unit.

  • Patent number: 10842351
    Abstract: An endoscope treatment tool includes: a tubular sheath part; an operation wire; an arm member; a holding tube; and a biasing member. The sheath part includes an elongated body part, and a tubular member. In a state where the holding tube and the tubular member are in contact with each other, the holding tube and the tubular member are connected to each other so as not to be rotated relative to each other about an axis and to be movable relative to each other in a direction in which a central axis of the sheath part extends. The arm member and the holding tube have a rotation restricting structure that prevents the arm member from rotating about an axis of the holding tube in a state where the arm member is in contact with the holding tube against the biasing force of the biasing member.
