The present invention relates to an inducer geometry which can optimize the behavior stability of cavitation in an inducer having a plurality of blades of the same geometry. In the inducer having a plurality of blades of the same geometry, a blade loading at a tip side in a front half of a blade is larger than that in a rear half of the blade; and when a blade angle from a circumferential direction of the inducer is expressed by &#x3b2;(degree) and a meridional distance is expressed by m (mm), an increase rate d&#x3b2;/dm of the blade angle at the tip side is not less than 0.2 from a blade leading edge to a non-dimensional meridional location of 0.15, and the increase rate d&#x3b2;b/dm of the blade angle at a mid-span is not less than 0.25 from the blade leading edge to the non-dimensional meridional location of 0.15.

Inducer

A stent delivery system for delivering a stent, the stent delivery system having a push catheter, a guide member, and an elongated stent securing material having a first portion arranged to a push catheter outer surface, a second portion, a third portion, and a fourth portion arranged to the push catheter outer surface, in that order. The first portion and the fourth portion are arranged to the push catheter outer surface such that only one of the first portion and the fourth portion is present on a cross-section plane orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The stent delivery system is configured to have a secured configuration in which the guide member is arranged within a push catheter lumen and a stent lumen and through a loop formed by a section between the second portion and the third portion to secure the stent.

Stent delivery system

This endoscopic treatment system is provided with an insertion-retraction and rotating device for a treatment tool, which performs an insertion-retraction operation along a direction of an axis of a treatment tool and a rotating operation around the axis, of the treatment tool inserted in a channel of an endoscope.

Endoscopic treatment system

An ultrasonic treatment apparatus includes a sheath having an opening at a distal end thereof; an ultrasonic transducer provided at a distal portion of the sheath and generating ultrasonic vibration; an ultrasonic transmission member connected to the ultrasonic transducer at a proximal end thereof, transmitting the ultrasonic vibration, and provided with a treatment part at a distal end thereof; a gripper moving to the treatment part and grasping the part to be treated between the gripper and the treatment part; a link member connected to the gripper and provided on a side of the ultrasonic transmission member; a manipulator part connected to a proximal end part of the link member to open and close the gripper; and a rigid member which the ultrasonic transducer is inserted into and secured to.

Ultrasonic treatment apparatus

A hemostatic forceps for an endoscope has a support section for supporting the pair of clamp pieces and so that they can rotate and change their distal parts direction. The pair of clamp pieces and are formed in tapered shape so that widths of the pair of clamp pieces gradually decrease in a direction from a side of the support section to a side of the distal parts. Length of the pair of clamp pieces at arbitrary location along the direction from a side of the support section to the distal sides, times the width of the pair of clamp pieces at the same location, is set to be substantially constant.

Distal portion of hemostatic forceps for endoscope

An ultrasonic treatment apparatus comprises an endoscope having an insertion portion to be inserted in a body cavity, and a treatment unit having an ultrasonic vibrator which generates ultrasonic vibrations, and a treatment portion which performs treatment by utilizing the ultrasonic vibrations generated by the ultrasonic vibrator. The ultrasonic treatment apparatus further comprises a treatment unit holding portion, which is provided in a distal end portion of the insertion portion and to which the treatment unit is attached, a cable which transmits an electric signal to the ultrasonic vibrator, and at least one bundle member which bundles the insertion portion and the cable.

An ultrasonic transducer unit that generates ultrasonic vibration for treating living tissues has an ultrasonic transducer and a cover member that covers the ultrasonic transducer. A flexible sheath is coupled at one end to the cover member. A signal cable extends through the sheath and is connected at one end to the ultrasonic transducer. A transducer drive unit is connected to the other end of the signal cable. An operation unit is provided at the other end of the flexible sheath.

Ultrasonic treatment device and ultrasonic treatment system

A clipping apparatus comprises a clip capable of being arbitrarily opened/closed, a stop tube for closing the clip, a link member capable of being inserted into the stop tube, and engaged with the clip, a sheath section capable of housing the clip and the stop tube therein, and a manipulating wire inserted into the sheath section. This clipping apparatus further comprises a hook section for, when the clip and the stop tube is protruded frontally of the sheath section, causing the sheath section and the stop tube to be engaged with each other, and disabling the stop tube from being housed in the sheath section again.

Physiological tissue clipping apparatus, clipping method and clip unit mounting method

A treatment apparatus to treat a tissue in a body cavity is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a base disposed in the vicinity of a tip-end portion of an endoscope, and an in-tissue inserting portion including a base end supported by the base and a tip end insertable in the tissue in the body cavity in a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the tissue, and extending to the tip end from the base end in a tapered shape. The in-tissue inserting portion has an inner side disposed in the vicinity of the surface of the tissue when inserted into the tissue. The apparatus further comprises a high-frequency electrode, for treating the tissue, supported by the base and disposed in the vicinity of the inner side of the in-tissue inserting portion, and a cable which supplies power to the high-frequency electrode from a high-frequency power source outside the body.
