A clip unit including: a clip main body having a first arm portion, a second arm portion, and a middle portion; a pressing tube formed in a tube shape to be capable of accommodating the clip main body, the pressing tube being provided to deform the clip main body so as to make a distal end of the first arm portion and a distal end of the second arm portion to approach to each other, as the middle portion, the first arm portion, and the second arm portion are moved toward a proximal end side of the clip unit; a locking portion configured to protrude from an inner circumferential surface of the pressing tube on the proximal end side of the pressing tube; and a first locked portion configured to protrude from a lateral surface of the first arm portion.

Clip unit

A sensor information acquiring device includes a sensor and a control section configured to determine that a position of a target object does not change even if a relative relation between the sensor and the target object changes and control an information acquisition direction of the sensor on the basis of information concerning displacement of a displacement section to which the sensor is attached. Even when a position, a direction, and the like of the sensor are changed by influence of work and the like, the sensor information acquiring device can always acquire effective sensor information concerning a desired target object.

Sensor information acquiring device, sensor information acquiring method, recording medium in which sensor information acquiring program is recorded, and medical instrument

A mobile apparatus that can surely execute desired actuation and devises control of actuation to realize power saving and a power feed control method for the mobile apparatus are provided. Therefore, a mobile apparatus of the present invention includes an acceleration detecting section configured to detect acceleration, a state identifying section configured to identify switch operation, and a power-feed control section configured to perform power feed control. The power-feed control section performs control to start power feed when the acceleration detecting section detects acceleration and continue the power feed when the state identifying section identifies the switch operation after the acceleration detecting section detects the acceleration and performs control to stop the power feed when the state identifying section does not identify the switch operation after the acceleration detecting section detects the acceleration.

Mobile apparatus and power feed control method for mobile apparatus

The present invention has an introducing tube capable of being inserted into a living body cavity, a manipulating wire movably inserted into this introducing tube, at least two or more clips, and a ligating wire causing the clip and the manipulating wire to be engaged with each other wherein, when the clip is ligated, a tensile stress of the manipulating wire is always applied only to the clip located at the most distal end.

Apparatus for ligating living tissues

A hemostatic clip includes: a clip body formed by folding an intermediate section of a belt-like member; and a holding tube. The clip body includes: a first member formed of a first metallic material that is elastically deformable; and a pair of second members that are formed of a second metallic material having a lower elastic strain limit than an elastic strain limit of the first metallic member and are connected to respective both ends of the first member. The holding tube is configured to change an opening width of the clip body by holding part of the clip body in the holding tube.

Hemostatic clip

This invention includes a clip having arms which grip living tissue, a press tube serving as a clamping member which is fitted and mounted on the clip to close the arms of the clip, a coupling member which can be inserted into the press tube and engages with the clip, and projections serving as lock portions which hold the arms of the clip in a closed state when the clip engages with the press tube.
