According one embodiment, a film forming apparatus includes a stage, a coating section, a vapor supply section, a blower section, and a controller. On the stage, an coating target is placed. The coating section applies a material to a predetermined region on the coating target placed on the stage to form a coating film. The vapor supply section generates solvent vapor capable of dissolving the coating film. The blower section blows the solvent vapor generated by the vapor supply section onto the coating film on the coating target placed on the stage. The controller controls an amount of the solvent vapor to be blown by the blower section so that: the coating film is dissolved; viscosity in a part of the coating film on a surface layer side is lower than that in a part thereof on the coating target side; and the viscosity in the part on the surface layer side and the viscosity of the coating target side take such values that prevent the coating film on the coating target from spreading.

A surgical instrument for fastening together opposing portions of a body organ. The instrument comprises a first support for supporting the first opposing portion of the body organ, a second support opposing the first support, for supporting the second opposing portion of the body organ, and a displacement-preventing member connected to the first or second support for preventing the supports from displacing relative to each other. The member comprises a pin protruding from one of the supports and a hole formed in the other of the supports. The pin is made of thermoplastic resin. When heated, the pin is softened and deformed, whereby the first and second supports are secured to each other, fastening together the opposing portions of the body organ.

A tool for manipulating tissue includes a penetration needle adapted to be stuck into a body cavity of a patient. A pulling device is insertable into a hollow portion of the penetration needle so as to be positioned in the body cavity of the patient when the penetration needle is stuck therein. The pulling device is adapted to pull tissue in the body cavity and the penetration needle is adapted to be removed from the body cavity after the pulling device is positioned therein. A manipulating device having a hollow portion through which the pulling device can be passed is adapted to be guided over the pulling device to be inserted into the body cavity of the patient after the penetration needle is removed therefrom. The manipulating device is adapted to be positionally fixed relative to the pulling device and to be operable together with the pulling device to move the pulled tissue in a desired direction and to hold the pulled tissue at a desired position.
