Abstract
The endoscope treatment toolhas a distal end memberwhich is installed in an endoscope. A connection memberis attached to the distal end memberin a freely rotatable manner. In the connection member, a portion which is supported by a capof the distal end memberis a second pivot shaft. A portion penetrating a supporting memberof a treatment portionis a first pivot shaft. The first pivot shaftis also a rotational axis of a pair of forceps membersprovided in the treatment member. When the forceps membersare used, a coil sheathis extended by an operation at the side of the proximal end. The connection memberrotates about the second pivot shaft, which is a fulcrum, and the treatment portionmoves forward beyond the cap. In accordance with the present invention, it is possible to resolve the difficulty of procedures by positioning the treatment portion in an appropriate location.
