Grasping treatment device
A grasping treatment device includes a first electrode portion provided at least one of in a part between a jaw and a probe electric conducting portion in opening-and-closing directions of the jaw and in the probe electric conducting portion, and a second electrode portion provided at least one of in a part between the jaw and the first electrode portion in the opening-and-closing directions of the jaw and in a jaw electric conducting portion. The grasping treatment device includes an inter-electrode distance changing unit changing an inter-electrode distance so that a second distance between the electrode portions in a second treatment mode, in which the high-frequency current alone is transmitted to the first electrode portion and second electrode portion, is smaller than a first distance between the electrode portions in a first treatment mode, in which at least an ultrasonic vibration is transmitted to a probe electric conducting portion.
1. A grasping treatment device comprising:
a probe body which is extended along a longitudinal axis and which is configured to transmit an ultrasonic vibration;
a probe electric conducting portion which is provided to a distal portion of the probe body, the probe electric conducting portion having a first electric potential when a high-frequency current is transmitted thereto;
a jaw which is openable and closable relative to the probe body;
a jaw electric conducting portion which is provided in the jaw while facing the probe electric conducting portion, the jaw electric conducting portion having a second electric potential different in intensity from the first electric potential when the high-frequency current is transmitted thereto;
a first electrode facing surface which is provided on an outer surface of the probe electric conducting portion, a distance from the jaw electric conducting portion to the probe electric conducting portion being configured to be a first distance in a first state in which the first electrode facing surface faces the jaw electric conducting portion;
a second electrode facing surface which is provided to a different part from the first electrode facing surface on the outer surface of the probe electric conducting portion, the distance from the jaw electrode conducting portion to the probe electric conducting portion being configured to be a second distance smaller than the first distance in a second state in which the second electrode facing surface faces the jaw electric conducting portion; and
an operation input portion configured to move the probe electric conducting portion relative to the jaw electric conducting portion so as to switch the probe electric conducting portion between the first state in which the first electrode facing surface faces the jaw electric conducting portion and the second state in which the second electrode facing surface faces the jaw electric conducting portion;
wherein the operation input portion is configured to switch the probe electric conducting portion to the first state during a first treatment mode in which at least the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted to the probe electric conducting portion, and configured to switch the probe electric conducting portion to the second state during a second treatment mode in which the high-frequency current alone is transmitted to the probe electric conducting portion and the jaw electric conducting portion.
2. The grasping treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein the operation input portion is configured to rotate the probe electric conducting portion relative to the jaw electric conducting portion in one of a plurality of directions around the longitudinal axis so as to switch the probe electric conducting portion between the first state and the second state.
3. The grasping treatment device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a rotation state switch portion which is configured to switch a rotation state between a relative rotation regulated state in which the probe electric conducting portion and the jaw electric conducting portion are unrotatable relative to each other in the plurality of directions around the longitudinal axis and the relative rotation allowed state in which the probe electric conducting portion and the jaw electric conducting portion are rotatable relative to each other in the plurality of directions around the longitudinal axis.
4. The grasping treatment device according to claim 3 , wherein the operation input portion is configured to input an operation of rotating the jaw and the probe body integrally in one of the plurality of directions around the longitudinal axis in the relative rotation regulated state.
5. The grasping treatment device according to claim 3 , wherein the jaw and the probe body are configured to rotate relative to each other in one of the plurality of directions around the longitudinal axis in accordance with a switching by the operation input portion in the relative rotation allowed state.
6. The grasping treatment device according to claim 3 , further comprising: a sheath body through which the probe body is inserted, the sheath body being electrically insulating from the probe body,
wherein the jaw is attached to the sheath body, and
the rotation state switch portion is configured to switch a coupling state of the sheath body with the probe body so as to switch the rotation state between the relative rotation regulated state and the relative rotation allowed state.
7. The grasping treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein
the jaw includes an abutting portion which is made of an insulating material and which is abutable on the probe electric conducting portion, and
the jaw electric conducting portion is configured to form a clearance with respect to the probe electric conducting portion when the abutting portion is in abutment with the probe electric conducting portion.
