Abstract
A heating treatment system consists mainly of coagulating/incising forceps in which a plurality of heating elements are incorporated, and a main unit that feeds power to the heating elements incorporated in the coagulating/incising forceps and that drives and controls the heating elements. The main unit can be connected to coagulating/incising forceps in which up to four heating elements are incorporated. The main unit includes element temperature measurement/output control units and temperature setting units which are associated with four channels allocated to the heating elements. A control unit controls the element temperature measurement/output control units and temperature setting units. The control unit judges the type of connected forceps by referencing data stored in advance in a memory using information of the type of forceps received from the coagulating/incising forceps, and controls power feed to the heating elements.
