The treatment instrument includes a cover that covers at least a part of a region of at least one of the first and second grasping members other than the first and second grasping surfaces, and a pair of electrodes that are arranged on at least one of the first and second grasping surfaces to function as a bipolar electrode. An opening is provided in the cove, and a monopolar electrode arranged to overlap with the opening and is exposed to an outside of the treatment instrument through the opening.

Abstract: In a manufacturing of a grasping device that is openable and closable and includes a first jaw having a first hole and a second jaw having a second hole larger than the first hole, the first jaw is arranged in between protruding portions of the second jaw. The second hole is located outside the first hole in a width direction of the grasping device, and a cross-sectional area of the second hole is larger than the first hole. A pin member is inserted through both the first hole and the second hole. The positions of the first jaw and the pin member are adjusted relative to the second jaw to predetermined positions. The pin member is fixed to the second jaw upon positioning the first jaw and the second jaw at the predetermined positions.

Abstract: An electric mobility vehicle in a facility includes a mobility body having a wheel, a driving unit driving the wheel, and a seat for the user, and sensors, and the mobility body has a controller which controls the driving unit for at least one of automatic driving and automatic stopping by using detected data of the sensor, the controller is configured to be able to set a detection cancel area, which is an area where a part of the user can exist in front of the user, the electric mobility vehicle further includes a lower side sensor which detects an object to be avoided from under a footrest surface or from a front end portion of a footrest portion.

Abstract: A treatment tool includes a housing, a sheath rotatable around a predetermined axis of rotation with respect to the housing. An end effector is disposed on a distal-end portion of the sheath and rotatable in unison with the sheath around the axis of rotation. A locking member for restraining rotation of the sheath with respect to the housing by engaging the sheath. A manipulating member is mounted on the housing and moves with respect to the housing for causing the locking member and the sheath to switch between engaging and disengaging positions.

Abstract: A surgical treatment instrument includes a holdable housing, a shaft, an end effector configured to perform a bending movement with respect to the shaft, a rotor configured to rotate about a rotation axis in response to an operation input performed through an operation member, and a transmission member configured to transmit a driving force for causing the end effector to perform the bending movement to the end effector. The operation member and the transmission member are configured to rotate together with the shaft and the end effector in response to the operation input, and the rotor is configured to not rotate together with the shaft and the end effector when the operation input is performed.

Abstract: A treatment tool includes a housing and a rotary element configured to be attached to the housing so as to define the treatment tool for treating an examinee. The rotary element is defined by an elongated member being rotatable about a rotational axis with respect to the housing. A rotary member is attached to the elongated member to rotate the elongated member. The rotary member is disposed coaxially with the elongated member and rotatable with respect to the housing. A locking member is used for unlocking the elongated member from the housing for rotation in response to rotation of the rotary member to allow the elongated member to rotate in the same direction as the rotary member in response to rotation of the rotary member and locking the elongated member against rotation with respect to the housing upon stopping of relative rotation between the rotary member and the housing.

Abstract: In a treatment instrument, one of a pair of jaws is supported by a supporter while being pivot able around the supporter with respect to the supporter. A drive member moves along a longitudinal axis so that the pair of the jaws are closed with respect to each other, thereby applying an axial force onto an elongated member from the drive member by way of the one of the jaws and the supporter in a direction along the longitudinal axis. A contact surface of the elongated member abuts on a housing when the elongated member moves with respect to the housing under the axial force, thereby suppressing rotation of the elongated member around the longitudinal axis with respect to the housing.
