A cover member includes: a sheath that is formed in a cylindrical shape for receiving a shaft; and a tubular portion that is attached to a distal end of the sheath. The tubular portion being formed such that an outer dimension of a distal end portion of the tubular portion in a first direction is smaller than an outer dimension of a proximal end portion of the tubular portion in the first direction and/or an outer dimension of the distal end portion in a second direction is smaller than an outer dimension of the proximal end portion in the second direction.

Cover member and treatment instrument

A treatment device includes a vibrator capable of ultrasonically vibrating, a front mass portion having a first resonance frequency and connected to the vibrator in a manner capable of transmitting ultrasonic vibration, a treatment probe configured to treat a subject and having a second resonance frequency that is higher than the first resonance frequency of the front mass portion, and a connection portion connecting a distal end surface of the front mass portion and a proximal end surface of the treatment probe by a pressing force, and serving as an antinode position when vibrating at the first resonance frequency.

Treatment device

An ultrasonic treatment device includes a first vibration transmitting member and a second vibration transmitting member and being configured to treat a biological tissue by means of vibration transmitted by the first vibration transmitting member and the second vibration transmitting member. At a boundary position between the first vibration transmitting member and the second vibration transmitting member, the first vibration transmitting member has a boundary face including a contacting area that is in contact with the second vibration transmitting member at the face, and a non-contacting area that is not in contact with the second vibration transmitting member.

Ultrasonic treatment device

A coagulating cutter according to the present invention comprises: a transmitting member for transmitting energy, for treating living body tissue, to the living body tissue; an outer sheath through which the transmitting member is passed; and a grasping section supported at the tip end portion of the outer sheath so as to be capable of turning with respect to the transmitting member, which allows the living body tissue to be grasped against the transmitting member. With such an arrangement, upon turning the grasping section toward the transmitting member to be in a closed state, the faces of the transmitting member and the grasping section, which face each other, provide a contact portion, where the transmitting member and the grasping section are in contact with each other over a predetermined length, for incising the living body tissue grasped between the transmitting member and the grasping section, and a non-contact portion, where the transmitting member and the grasping section are provided with a predetermined interval on both sides of the axis extending in the direction of the predetermined length of the contact portion so as not to be in contact with each other, for coagulating the living body tissue.
