DEVICE
Provided is a treatment tool configured so that no induction current flows through a manipulation wire of a manipulation part manipulated by an operator. The treatment tool includes: the manipulation part that is manipulated by an operator; an elongated insertion portion that is elongated from the manipulation part and is inserted into a body of a subject; and the manipulation wire that passes through the elongated insertion portion to transmit manipulation at the manipulation part to a treatment portion on a forward-end side (distal-end) of the insertion part. The manipulation wire includes a first wire having one end connected to the treatment portion, to which AC magnetic field or AC electrical field is applied, and a second wire having one end connected to the manipulation part and the other end that is connected to the first wire but is insulated electrically from the first wire.
1 . A device, the device comprising:
a manipulation portion;
an elongated insertion portion extending from the manipulation portion; and
a manipulation wire that extends from the manipulation portion, through the elongated insertion portion and is capable of transmitting a force from the manipulation portion to a distal-end side of the elongated insertion portion,
wherein the manipulation wire comprises a first wire and a second wire,
a first end of the first wire being extending to the distal-end side of the insertion portion, the first wire configured to receive an AC magnetic field or an AC electrical field, and
a first end of the second wire extending to the manipulation portion and a second end of the second wire operably connected to the first wire, wherein the second wire is substantially insulated electrically from the first wire.
2 . The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first wire comprises one or more metals and the second wire comprises one or more metals are operably connected via a connecting member, the connecting member comprises of a material that is substantially insulating.
3 . The device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the connecting member comprises one or more wires of a material that is substantially insulating.
4 . The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first wire and the second wire comprise a stranded wire, and wherein the stranded wire comprises a plurality of stranded wires.
5 . The device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the first wire is a stranded wire, and wherein the plurality of stranded wires are each coated with a substantially insulating material.
6 . The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second wire is comprised of a substantially insulating material.
7 . The device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the manipulation wire is comprised of a substantially insulating material.
8 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the insertion portion further comprises: a power-reception portion, the power-reception portion configured to receive an alternating current AC magnetic field or configured to receive an AC electrical field.
9 . The device according to claim 8 ,
wherein the insertion portion further comprises a treatment portion on the distal-end of the insertion portion, the treatment portion configured to receive the AC magnetic field or the AC electrical field from the power-reception portion.
10 . A system, the system comprising:
a device, the device comprising:
a manipulation portion;
an elongated insertion portion extending from the manipulation portion; and
a manipulation wire that extends from the manipulation portion, through the elongated insertion portion and is capable of transmitting a force from the manipulation portion to a distal-end side of the elongated insertion portion,
wherein the manipulation wire comprises a first wire and a second wire,
a first end of the first wire being extending to the distal-end side of the insertion portion, the first wire configured to receive an AC magnetic field or an AC electrical field, and
a first end of the second wire extending to the manipulation portion and a second end of the second wire operably connected to the first wire, wherein the second wire is substantially insulated electrically from the first wire; and
an insertion aid, the insertion aid having an insertion hole formed therein, the insertion hole configured for the insertion portion to pass therethrough,
the insertion aid comprising a power-transmission portion configured to generate an alternating current (AC) magnetic field or an AC electrical field.
11 . The system according to claim 10 , wherein the insertion aid is a trocar.
12 . The device according to claim 10 , wherein the insertion aid is an endoscope, wherein the insertion hole is a channel in the endoscope.
