  • Publication number: 20220160392
    Abstract: An access device used with an endoscope includes an access pipe configured to be inserted into a sheath of the endoscope, a piercer disposed on a distal end portion of the access pipe and configured to pierce into a hollow organ through a digestive tract of a patient, and a treatment tool configured to be inserted into the access pipe and to be introduced into the hollow organ by the piercer. The access device is switchable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, a piercing function of the piercer is switched on, so that the piercer pierces the digestive tract and the hollow organ to enter into an interior of the hollow organ, and in the second configuration, the piercing function of the piercer is switched off, the piercer is kept connected to the interior of the hollow organ.

  • Patent number: 10478223
    Abstract: An endoscopic treatment tool according to the present invention including: a sheath an operating wire inserted into a sheath; a basket part positioned at a distal side of the operating wire, a distal end tip binding and fixing distal ends of the plurality of basket wires at a distal end of the basket part, a binding part in which proximal end portions of the plurality of basket wires are bound together and fixed, and a support member disposed so as to pass into the basket part along a central axis of the basket part and of which a distal end portion is fixed to the distal end tip. A proximal end portion of the support member is positioned at a proximal side than the binding part and is connected to the operating wire to be slidable in the central axis direction with respect to the operating wire.

  • Patent number: 9522013
    Abstract: Basket type grasping forceps includes sheath, main body section which has distal and proximal end inserted through sheath, and manipulation sections fixed to sheath which proximal end of main body section is attached. Main body section includes basket section provided at distal side of main body section, and is configured to hold foreign substance, first wire provided at proximal side of basket section and is fixed to basket section, and removal mechanism attached to basket section and moves foreign substance in basket section. Basket section includes plurality of basket wires and fixing member. Removal mechanism includes slide sleeve and second wire. Slide sleeve is disposed at distal end of basket section in state which plurality of basket wires are spread, and foreign substance captured by basket section is discharged from opening formed at proximal side, by moving slide sleeve to proximal side and reducing a diameter of basket section.
