结扎装置ligation device

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种通过夹子(clip)对活体组织进行结扎的结扎装置。The invention relates to a ligating device for ligating living tissues through clips.

背景技术Background technique

以往,使用如下的结扎装置,即,与内窥镜组合起来使用,通过夹子对体腔内的活体组织进行结扎。Conventionally, a ligation device is used in combination with an endoscope to ligate living tissue in a body cavity with a clip.

在日本特开2004-121485号公报的结扎装置中,夹子具有受到扩开的力的一对臂。此外,将按压管包嵌在夹子上以使一对臂闭合来把持活体组织,并利用按压管将一对臂保持在闭合状态,由此对活体组织进行结扎。In the ligation device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-121485, the clip has a pair of arms that receive a force of expansion. In addition, the pressing tube is embedded in the clip to close the pair of arms to hold the living tissue, and the pressing tube is used to keep the pair of arms in the closed state, whereby the living tissue is ligated.

另外,在国际公开第03/030746A1号小册子(pamphlet)的结扎装置中,在盘管护套(coil sheath)的前端部连接有夹子,该夹子具有可开闭的一对夹子脚部。此外,将夹子脚部的基端部拉进盘管护套中,使夹子脚部闭合来把持活体组织,将夹子脚部保持在闭合状态,由此对活体组织进行结扎。In addition, in the ligation device of International Publication No. 03/030746A1 pamphlet, a clip is connected to the front end of a coil sheath, and the clip has a pair of clip legs that can be opened and closed. In addition, the base end of the clip leg is drawn into the coil sheath, the clip leg is closed to hold the living tissue, and the clip leg is kept in the closed state, thereby ligating the living tissue.

在日本特开2004-121485号公报的结扎装置中,一旦将按压管包嵌在夹子上时,就不能再次打开一对臂,从而不能重新把持活体组织。因而,日本特开2004-121485号公报的结扎装置存在不能适当地对活体组织进行结扎的可能性。In the ligation device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-121485, once the pressing tube is embedded in the clip, the pair of arms cannot be opened again, so that the living tissue cannot be grasped again. Therefore, the ligation device of JP-A-2004-121485 may not be able to properly ligate living tissue.

在这里,在结扎装置中,通常为了可靠地把持活体组织,在夹子上形成锐利的爪部。在国际公开第03/030746A1号小册子的结扎装置中,无法将夹子收纳在盘管护套中,夹子的爪部从盘管护套露出。因而,在将结扎装置贯穿到内窥镜等的通道中的情况下,存在爪部损伤通道内壁,或者爪部挂在通道内壁上而使所需的插入力量增大的可能性。因而,国际公开第03/030746A1号小册子的结扎装置不适于插入体腔内。Here, in the ligation device, sharp claws are generally formed on the clips in order to securely grasp the living tissue. In the ligation device of International Publication No. 03/030746A1, the clip cannot be accommodated in the coil sheath, and the claws of the clip are exposed from the coil sheath. Therefore, when the ligature device is inserted into a channel of an endoscope or the like, the inner wall of the channel may be damaged by the claw, or the claw may be caught on the inner wall of the channel, thereby increasing the required insertion force. Therefore, the ligation device of International Publication No. 03/030746A1 pamphlet is not suitable for insertion into a body cavity.

参照图1至图8说明本发明的第1实施方式。在本实施方式的结扎装置中,在装置本体24中可分离地安装有夹子26。A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 . In the ligation device of this embodiment, aclip 26 is detachably attached to thedevice body 24 .

参照图1,装置本体24具有用于贯穿到内窥镜的通道内并插入体腔内的挠性的护套28。在本实施方式中,护套28通过紧密地卷绕盘管(coil)而形成。用于操作夹子26的操作线30进退自如地贯穿在该护套28中。此外,在护套28的基端部,连接有用于进退操作操作线30的操作部32。该操作部32具有前后细长的操作部本体34,滑块36进退自如地配设在该操作部本体34上。操作线30的基端部连接在该滑块36上,通过使滑块36相对于操作部本体34进退,可使操作线30相对于护套28进退。为了在滑块36的进退操作中保持操作部本体34,在操作部本体34的后端部配设有环状的搭指部38。Referring to FIG. 1 , thedevice body 24 has aflexible sheath 28 for penetrating into the channel of an endoscope and inserted into a body cavity. In this embodiment, thesheath 28 is formed by tightly winding a coil. Anoperating wire 30 for operating theclip 26 is passed through thesheath 28 freely. In addition, anoperation portion 32 for operating theoperation wire 30 forward and backward is connected to the base end portion of thesheath 28 . Theoperation unit 32 has an operation unitmain body 34 that is elongated front and back, and aslider 36 is disposed on the operation unitmain body 34 so as to be able to move forward and backward. The base end portion of theoperation wire 30 is connected to theslider 36 , and theoperation wire 30 can advance and retreat relative to thesheath 28 by moving theslider 36 forward and backward relative to the operation unitmain body 34 . In order to hold theoperation part body 34 during the forward and backward operation of theslider 36 , anannular finger rest 38 is provided at the rear end of theoperation part body 34 .

参照图1及图2,夹子26进退自如地收纳在装置本体24的护套28的前端部。该夹子26通过将夹子爪部件42内嵌在按压部件40的大致圆筒形状的本体部内而形成。操作线30的前端部经由连接部件44连接在该夹子爪部件42上,通过使操作线30相对于护套28进退,从而夹子爪部件42与按压部件40一体地相对于护套28进退。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , theclip 26 is housed in the front end portion of thesheath 28 of the devicemain body 24 so as to be able to move forward and backward. Theclip 26 is formed by fitting theclip claw member 42 into the substantially cylindrical body portion of the pressingmember 40 . The tip portion of theoperation wire 30 is connected to theclip claw member 42 via theconnection member 44 , and theclip claw member 42 advances and retreats with thesheath 28 integrally with the pressingmember 40 by moving theoperation wire 30 forward and backward with respect to thesheath 28 .

下面,对限制按压部件40在护套28的前端部相对于护套28的进退的进退限制机构进行说明。Next, an advance/retreat restricting mechanism for restricting the advance and retreat of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 at the front end portion of thesheath 28 will be described.

首先,说明限制按压部件40相对于护套28的前进的前进限制机构。First, an advancement restricting mechanism for restricting the advancement of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 will be described.

在盘管的前端部,通过焊接等固定有圆环状的止挡部件46,该止挡部件46具有与盘管的外径大致相等的外径,并且具有比盘管的内径小的内径。即,护套28的前端做成凸缘形状,在护套28的前端形成有内径减小的护套小径部48。利用该护套小径部48的后端侧形成前进限制止挡50。另一方面,在按压部件40的后端部形成有外径增大的前进限制大径部52。通过该前进限制大径部52与前进限制止挡50的抵接,来限制按压部件40相对于护套28的前进。Anannular stopper member 46 having an outer diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the coil and an inner diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the coil is fixed to the front end of the coil by welding or the like. That is, the front end of thesheath 28 is formed into a flange shape, and a sheath small-diameter portion 48 having a reduced inner diameter is formed at the front end of thesheath 28 . Theadvance limiting stopper 50 is formed by the rear end side of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 . On the other hand, at the rear end portion of the pressingmember 40, a forward restricting large-diameter portion 52 having an enlarged outer diameter is formed. The advance of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 is restricted by the abutment of the advance restricting large-diameter portion 52 and theadvance restricting stopper 50 .

接着,说明限制按压部件40相对于护套28后退的后退限制机构。Next, a retreat restriction mechanism for restricting the retreat of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 will be described.

按压部件40的本体部的外径小于护套小径部48的内径,按压部件40可从护套28的前端突出。此外,利用护套小径部48的前端侧形成后退限制止挡54。另一方面,多个翼部56有弹性地且可扩开和缩闭地配设在按压部件40上。即,在按压部件40中,在沿前后方向延伸设置的切槽中收纳有具有弹性的翼部56,在切槽的前端部,翼部56的前端部与按压部件40的本体部连接。翼部56的后端部能够以该翼部56的前端部和按压部件40的本体部的连接部为支点弹性地转动。此外,翼部56在没有被施加外力的自然状态下扩开。The outer diameter of the main body portion of the pressingmember 40 is smaller than the inner diameter of the small-diameter portion 48 of the sheath, and the pressingmember 40 can protrude from the front end of thesheath 28 . In addition, aretreat limiting stopper 54 is formed by the front end side of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 . On the other hand, the plurality ofwing portions 56 are elastically arranged on the pressingmember 40 so as to be expandable and contractible. That is, in the pressingmember 40 ,elastic wing portions 56 are accommodated in slots extending in the front-rear direction, and the front ends of thewing portions 56 are connected to the main body of the pressingmember 40 at the front ends of the slots. The rear end portion of thewing portion 56 is elastically rotatable around the connecting portion between the front end portion of thewing portion 56 and the main body portion of the pressingmember 40 as a fulcrum. In addition, thewings 56 expand in a natural state where no external force is applied.

在按压部件40被收纳于护套28中的情况下,翼部56受到护套28的内周面的作用力而向切槽的内部折叠。此外,在按压部件40从护套28的前端部突出的情况下,翼部56借助于弹性而扩开。通过该扩开后的翼部56与后退限制止挡54的抵接,来限制按压部件40相对于护套28的后退。When the pressingmember 40 is housed in thesheath 28 , thewing portion 56 receives the urging force of the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 and is folded inward of the notch. In addition, when the pressingmember 40 protrudes from the front end portion of thesheath 28 , thewing portion 56 expands due to elasticity. The retraction of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 is restricted by the abutment of the expandedwing portion 56 against theretraction limiting stopper 54 .

此外,护套小径部48的中心轴方向的长度尺寸稍稍短于按压部件40的前进限制大径部52的前端面与扩开后的翼部56的后端面之间的长度。即,在使夹子26相对于护套28前进的情况下,在按压部件40的前进限制大径部52与前进限制止挡50抵接的时候,翼部56扩开。In addition, the length dimension of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 in the direction of the central axis is slightly shorter than the length between the front end surface of the advance restricting large-diameter portion 52 of the pressingmember 40 and the rear end surface of the expandedwing portion 56 . That is, when theclip 26 is advanced relative to thesheath 28 , when the large-diameter portion 52 of the pressingmember 40 abuts against theadvance restriction stopper 50 , thewing portion 56 expands.

下面,说明夹子爪部件42的开闭机构。Next, the opening and closing mechanism of theclip claw member 42 will be described.

夹子爪部件42通过如下方式形成,即,将不锈钢制的带状部件以中央部的折弯部分成为圆弧形状的方式折弯成V字形状,并且,将V字形状的一对前端部以相互面对的方式向内侧折弯。在这里,利用夹子爪部件42的圆弧形状的折弯部分形成与连接部件44卡合的卡合部58。此外,利用从圆弧形状的折弯部分突出的一对腕状部分形成相互开闭来把持活体组织的一对臂部60,利用一对腕状部分的前端部的钩状部分形成穿刺活体组织的爪部62。Theclip claw member 42 is formed by bending a band-shaped member made of stainless steel into a V shape so that the bent portion of the central portion becomes an arc shape, and a pair of front ends of the V shape are formed by Bend inwards facing each other. Here, the engagingportion 58 that engages with theconnection member 44 is formed by the arc-shaped bent portion of theclip claw member 42 . In addition, a pair ofarm portions 60 that protrude from the arc-shaped bending portion form a pair ofarm portions 60 that open and close each other to grasp the living tissue, and utilize the hook-shaped portion at the front end of the pair of arm portions to form a puncture tissue. Theclaw portion 62.

将操作线30的前端部与夹子爪部件42连接起来的连接部件44具有将半圆柱状部64、大圆柱状部66及小圆柱状部68从前端侧顺次大致同轴地连接的形态,并且该连接部件44被收纳在按压部件40内。半圆柱状部64具有将外径与大圆柱状部66的外径大致相等的圆柱形状用包含中心轴的平面分割后的一侧的形状。此外,在半圆柱状部64的平面部上突出设置有泪珠形(teardrop)的卡合支撑部70,夹子爪部件42的卡合部58卷设并卡装在该卡合支撑部70上。另外,在大圆柱状部66的后端部,形成朝向后端侧外径减小的锥状,在该锥状的后端部连接有小圆柱状部68,该小圆柱状部68具有比大圆柱状部66的外径小的外径。此外,操作线30的前端部通过粘结、焊接等连接在小圆柱状部68的基端部。在这里,在按压部件40相对于护套28的进退被限制的情况下,通过使操作线30相对于护套28进退,从而连接部件44、即夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40进退。Theconnection member 44 connecting the front end portion of theoperation wire 30 and theclip claw member 42 has a form in which thesemi-cylindrical portion 64, the largecylindrical portion 66, and the smallcylindrical portion 68 are sequentially and substantially coaxially connected from the front end side, and this The connectingmember 44 is accommodated in the pressingmember 40 . Thesemi-cylindrical portion 64 has one side of a cylindrical shape having an outer diameter substantially equal to that of the largecylindrical portion 66 divided by a plane including the central axis. In addition, a teardrop-shapedengaging support portion 70 protrudes from the planar portion of thesemicylindrical portion 64 , and the engagingportion 58 of theclip claw member 42 is rolled and engaged with the engaging supportingportion 70 . In addition, at the rear end portion of the largecylindrical portion 66, a tapered shape whose outer diameter decreases toward the rear end side is formed, and a smallcylindrical portion 68 is connected to the tapered rear end portion. The outer diameter of thecolumnar portion 66 is small. In addition, the front end portion of theoperation wire 30 is connected to the base end portion of the smallcylindrical portion 68 by bonding, welding, or the like. Here, when the advancing and retreating of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 is restricted, theconnection member 44 , that is, theclip claw member 42 advances and retreats relative to the pressingmember 40 by advancing and retreating theoperation wire 30 relative to thesheath 28 .

在按压部件40的前端部,以横穿前端开口的方式沿直径方向架设有桥接部72。前端开口被桥接部72分割为两个,夹子爪部件42的一对臂部60分别滑动自如地贯穿到这一对分割开口中。此外,通过夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40的前进,一对臂部60受到桥接部72的作用力而打开,从而夹子爪部件42打开。此外,如图3所示,桥接部72可以通过将在按压部件40的前端面上沿着中心轴方向关于中心轴对称地突出设置的长板状片向内侧折弯而形成。另一方面,通过夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40的后退,夹子爪部件42被拉进按压部件40中,从而夹子爪部件42通过按压部件40而闭合。On the front end portion of the pressingmember 40 , a bridgingportion 72 is bridged in the radial direction across the front end opening. The front end opening is divided into two by the bridgingportion 72 , and the pair ofarm portions 60 of theclip claw member 42 are respectively slidably inserted into the pair of divided openings. Further, when theclip claw member 42 advances relative to the pressingmember 40 , the pair ofarm portions 60 are opened by the biasing force of thebridge portion 72 , and theclip claw member 42 opens. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3 , the bridgingportion 72 may be formed by bending inwardly a long plate-like piece protruding symmetrically with respect to the central axis on the front end surface of the pressingmember 40 along the central axis direction. On the other hand, by retreating of theclip claw member 42 relative to the pressingmember 40 , theclip claw member 42 is pulled into the pressingmember 40 so that theclip claw member 42 is closed by the pressingmember 40 .

下面,对从护套28的前端部释放夹子26的释放机构进行说明。Next, a release mechanism for releasing theclip 26 from the front end portion of thesheath 28 will be described.

如上所述,夹子爪部件42与操作线30的前端部通过连接部件44连接起来。此外,在连接部件44的半圆柱状部64中,卡合支撑部70与大圆柱状部66之间的部分可以断裂,形成第1断裂部74。此外,通过将半圆柱状部64的外径缩小而使其强度变脆弱,也可以形成第1断裂部74。在按压部件40相对于护套28的后退被限制、并且夹子爪部件42被充分地拉进按压部件40中的情况下,通过使操作线30相对于护套28进一步进退,从而第1断裂部74断裂。As described above, theclip claw member 42 is connected to the front end portion of theoperation wire 30 by theconnection member 44 . In addition, in thesemi-cylindrical portion 64 of theconnection member 44 , a portion between theengaging support portion 70 and the largecylindrical portion 66 can be broken to form a firstbroken portion 74 . In addition, thefirst breaking portion 74 can also be formed by reducing the outer diameter of thesemi-cylindrical portion 64 to weaken its strength. When the retreat of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 is restricted and theclip claw member 42 is sufficiently drawn into the pressingmember 40 , theoperation wire 30 further advances and retreats relative to thesheath 28 , thereby causing the first fractured portion to 74 breaks.

此外,在按压部件40的前进限制大径部52与翼部56之间,形成有可断裂的第2断裂部76。该第2断裂部76通过强度弱的脆弱部形成,关于与按压部件40的中心轴方向正交的截面,脆弱部的截面积小于按压部件40的本体部的截面积。在本实施方式中,通过使按压部件40的壁厚变薄而形成脆弱部,但是,也可以通过形成切槽等来形成脆弱部。在该第2断裂部76的后端侧,形成有内径相对于按压部件40的本体部减小的卡定小径部78。此外,在第1断裂部74断裂的情况下,通过使操作线30相对于护套28后退,从而作为卡定大径部的大圆柱状部66的后端侧的锥状卡定于按压部件40的卡定小径部78,对卡定小径部78向后端侧施力,从而使第2断裂部76断裂。In addition, a breakablesecond breaking portion 76 is formed between the advance restricting large-diameter portion 52 and thewing portion 56 of the pressingmember 40 . Thesecond breaking portion 76 is formed by a weak weak portion whose cross-sectional area is smaller than that of the main body of the pressingmember 40 in a cross section perpendicular to the central axis direction of the pressingmember 40 . In this embodiment, the weakened portion is formed by reducing the thickness of the pressingmember 40 , but the weakened portion may be formed by forming a groove or the like. On the rear end side of thesecond breaking portion 76 , a locking small-diameter portion 78 whose inner diameter is smaller than that of the main body portion of the pressingmember 40 is formed. In addition, when thefirst breakage portion 74 breaks, theoperation wire 30 is retracted relative to thesheath 28 , so that the tapered portion on the rear end side of the largecylindrical portion 66 that is the large diameter portion is locked to the pressingmember 40 . The locking small-diameter portion 78 is biased toward the rear end side of the locking small-diameter portion 78 to break thesecond breaking portion 76 .

接着,参照图4至图8,说明基于本实施方式的结扎装置的活体组织的结扎方法。在本实施方式中,将结扎装置与内窥镜组合起来使用。Next, a method of ligation of living tissue using the ligation device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8 . In this embodiment, a ligation device is used in combination with an endoscope.

参照图4,夹子26以完全被收纳的方式安装在护套28的前端部中。在该安装状态下,夹子爪部件42不会露出到外部,按压部件40的翼部56通过护套28的内周面弹性地缩闭而折叠在切槽中。此外,夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40配置在最前端的位置,虽然桥接部72对夹子爪部件42以使其最大限度地打开的方式施力,但是该夹子爪部件42通过护套28的内周面弹性地闭合。Referring to FIG. 4 , theclip 26 is installed in the front end of thesheath 28 in a fully received manner. In this mounted state, theclip claw member 42 is not exposed to the outside, and thewings 56 of the pressingmember 40 are elastically shrunk by the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 to be folded in the notch. In addition, theclip claw member 42 is disposed at the frontmost position with respect to the pressingmember 40, and thebridge portion 72 biases theclip claw member 42 to open it to the maximum, but theclip claw member 42 passes through thesheath 28. The inner peripheral surface is elastically closed.

接着,将护套28贯穿到插入体腔内的内窥镜的通道中,使护套28的前端部从通道的前端部突出并向体腔内插入。此外,在内窥镜观察下,将护套28的前端部向活体组织的结扎对象部位A的附近移动。此外,也可以利用内窥镜以外的引导设备的通道将护套28向体腔内插入。Next, thesheath 28 is inserted into the channel of the endoscope inserted into the body cavity, and the front end of thesheath 28 is protruded from the front end of the channel to be inserted into the body cavity. In addition, under endoscopic observation, the distal end portion of thesheath 28 is moved to the vicinity of the ligation target site A of the living tissue. In addition, thesheath 28 may be inserted into the body cavity by using a channel of a guiding device other than an endoscope.

参照图5,在操作部32中,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34前进,从而通过操作线30使夹子26相对于护套28前进,使夹子26从护套28的前端部突出。这时,按压部件40的前进限制大径部52与护套小径部48的前进限制止挡50抵接,限制按压部件40从护套28的前端部进一步地突出。同时,通过使按压部件40从护套28的前端部突出,从而基于护套28的内周面的限制被解除,按压部件40的翼部56扩开,扩开后的翼部56与护套28的前端的后退限制止挡54抵接,由此,限制按压部件40没入护套28的前端部。另外,护套28的内周面对夹子爪部件42的施力被解除,从而夹子爪部件42最大限度地打开。Referring to FIG. 5 , in theoperation part 32 , theslider 36 is advanced relative to theoperation part body 34 , thereby theclip 26 is advanced relative to thesheath 28 through theoperation wire 30 , and theclip 26 protrudes from the front end of thesheath 28 . At this time, the advance restricting large-diameter portion 52 of the pressingmember 40 abuts against theadvance restricting stopper 50 of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 , and the restricting pressingmember 40 protrudes further from the front end portion of thesheath 28 . At the same time, by making the pressingmember 40 protrude from the front end of thesheath 28, the restriction based on the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 is released, thewings 56 of the pressingmember 40 are expanded, and the expandedwings 56 and the sheath Theretraction limiting stopper 54 at the front end of thesheath 28 is abutted against, whereby therestriction pressing member 40 sinks into the front end portion of thesheath 28 . In addition, the biasing force of the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 against theclip claw member 42 is released, so that theclip claw member 42 is opened to the maximum.

参照图6,将结扎装置的护套28相对于内窥镜压入,在内窥镜观察下,将夹子爪部件42的前端部按压到活体组织的结扎对象部位A。然后,使滑块36相对于结扎装置的操作部本体34后退。其结果是,夹子爪部件42通过操作线30而相对于按压部件40后退,夹子爪部件42被拉进按压部件40中,夹子爪部件42通过按压部件40闭合。此外,夹子爪部件42的爪部62穿刺结扎对象部位A,活体组织被夹子爪部件42把持。通过将夹子爪部件42充分地拉进按压部件40中,从而夹子爪部件42充分地闭合,活体组织被结扎。Referring to FIG. 6 , thesheath 28 of the ligation device is pressed into the endoscope, and the front end of theclip claw member 42 is pressed to the ligation target site A of the living tissue under observation of the endoscope. Then, theslider 36 is moved backward relative to the operation partmain body 34 of the ligation device. As a result, theclip claw member 42 moves backward relative to the pressingmember 40 by theoperating wire 30 , theclip claw member 42 is pulled into the pressingmember 40 , and theclip claw member 42 is closed by the pressingmember 40 . In addition, theclaw portion 62 of theclip claw member 42 punctures the site A to be ligated, and the living tissue is grasped by theclip claw member 42 . By sufficiently pulling theclip claw member 42 into the pressingmember 40 so that theclip claw member 42 is fully closed, the living tissue is ligated.

在这里,在止血目的的结扎中,如果对结扎对象部位A适当地结扎,则可以解决出血问题,但是在不能适当地结扎的情况下,就不能解决出血问题,所以需要进行再结扎。在进行再结扎的情况下,使滑块36相对于结扎装置的操作部本体34前进。其结果是,夹子爪部件42通过操作线30而相对于按压部件40前进,从而夹子爪部件42受到桥接部72的作用力而打开。这样,结扎对象部位A被释放。之后,反复进行上述操作,直到适当地对结扎对象部位A进行结扎为止。Here, in the ligation for the purpose of hemostasis, if the ligation target site A is properly ligated, the bleeding problem can be solved, but if the ligation cannot be done properly, the bleeding problem cannot be solved, so re-ligation is required. When performing religation, theslider 36 is advanced relative to the operation partmain body 34 of the ligation device. As a result, theclip claw member 42 is advanced relative to the pressingmember 40 by theoperation wire 30 , and theclip claw member 42 is opened by the biasing force of thebridge portion 72 . In this way, the site A to be ligated is released. Thereafter, the above operation is repeated until the ligation target site A is properly ligated.

参照图7,在结扎对象部位A被适当地结扎、夹子爪部件42被充分地拉进按压部件40中的状态下,进一步使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退。其结果是,连接部件44的第1断裂部74断裂,夹子爪部件42与操作线30分离。Referring to FIG. 7 , theslider 36 is further retreated relative to theoperation unit body 34 in a state where the site A to be ligated is properly ligated and theclip claw member 42 is sufficiently drawn into the pressingmember 40 . As a result, thefirst breaking portion 74 of theconnection member 44 is broken, and theclip claw member 42 is separated from theoperation wire 30 .

参照图8,在第1断裂部74断裂之后,进一步使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退。其结果是,连接部件44的大圆柱状部66卡定于按压部件40的卡定小径部78,大圆柱状部66对卡定小径部78向后端侧施力,从而按压部件40的脆弱部断裂。这样,按压部件40的前端侧从护套28的前端部分离。Referring to FIG. 8 , after thefirst breaking portion 74 is broken, theslider 36 is further retreated relative to the operation portionmain body 34 . As a result, the largecylindrical portion 66 of the connectingmember 44 is locked to the small-diameter locking portion 78 of the pressingmember 40, and the largecylindrical portion 66 urges the small-diameter locking portion 78 toward the rear end side, thereby breaking the fragile portion of the pressingmember 40. . In this way, the front end side of the pressingmember 40 is separated from the front end portion of thesheath 28 .

之后,将护套28相对于内窥镜拔出,将夹子26从护套28的前端部释放。在这里,夹子爪部件42借助于摩擦阻力卡装在按压部件40中,保持在闭合的状态。因而,该夹子26以对结扎对象部位A结扎的状态留置在体腔内。Thereafter, thesheath 28 is pulled out from the endoscope, and theclip 26 is released from the front end portion of thesheath 28 . Here, theclip claw member 42 is snapped into the pressingmember 40 by means of frictional resistance, and is kept in a closed state. Therefore, theclip 26 is left in the body cavity in a state where the site A to be ligated is ligated.

从而,本实施方式的结扎装置可以获得下面的效果。在本实施方式的结扎装置中,夹子26以夹子爪部件42不会露出到外部的方式被收纳在护套28中,通过将护套28贯穿内窥镜等的通道,从而向体腔内插入。因而,可防止通道内壁被夹子爪部件42损伤,并且,可避免夹子爪部件42挂在通道内壁上而使所需的插入力量增大。另外,夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40进退,通过与按压部件40的相互作用而开闭,为了能够通过夹子26对活体组织进行结扎,进退限制机构限制按压部件40在护套28的前端部相对于护套28的进退,可以通过操作线30相对于护套28的进退,使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40进退。因而,可通过夹子爪部件42对结扎对象部位A重新进行结扎。这样,本实施方式的结扎装置最适合于体腔内的活体组织的结扎。Therefore, the ligation device of this embodiment can obtain the following effects. In the ligation device of this embodiment, theclip 26 is housed in thesheath 28 so that theclip claw members 42 are not exposed to the outside, and thesheath 28 is inserted into the body cavity by passing thesheath 28 through a channel of an endoscope or the like. Therefore, the passage inner wall can be prevented from being damaged by theclip claw member 42, and theclip claw member 42 can be prevented from being caught on the passage inner wall to increase the required insertion force. In addition, theclip claw member 42 advances and retreats relative to the pressingmember 40 , and is opened and closed by interacting with the pressingmember 40 . With respect to the advance and retreat of thesheath 28 , theclip claw member 42 can advance and retreat relative to the pressingmember 40 by advancing and retreating theoperation wire 30 relative to thesheath 28 . Therefore, the site A to be ligatured can be ligated again by theclip claw member 42 . In this way, the ligation device of this embodiment is most suitable for ligation of living tissue in a body cavity.

另外,在本实施方式的结扎装置中,通过使滑块36相对于操作部本体34的前进,从而夹子26从护套28的前端部突出,夹子爪部件42打开,接着,通过使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退,从而夹子爪部件42闭合,夹子26从护套28的前端部被释放。这样,结扎装置的基端部的操作方向和结扎装置的前端部的动作方向彼此一致,可进行结扎装置的直观的操作。In addition, in the ligation device of this embodiment, by advancing theslider 36 relative to theoperation part body 34, theclip 26 protrudes from the front end portion of thesheath 28, and theclip claw member 42 is opened, and then, by moving theslider 36 Theclip claw member 42 is closed by retreating relative to the operation partmain body 34 , and theclip 26 is released from the front end portion of thesheath 28 . In this way, the operating direction of the base end portion of the ligation device and the movement direction of the distal end portion of the ligation device coincide with each other, enabling intuitive operation of the ligation device.

另外,在本实施方式的结扎装置的夹子26中,在夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进的情况下,夹子爪部件42被桥接部72强制地打开。在没有形成这种桥接部72的情况下,仅通过对夹子爪部件42施加使其扩开的力来打开夹子爪部件42,从而难以可靠地打开夹子爪部件42,但是,在本实施方式中,能可靠地打开夹子爪部件42。In addition, in theclip 26 of the ligation device according to the present embodiment, when theclip claw member 42 advances relative to the pressingmember 40 , theclip claw member 42 is forcibly opened by thebridge portion 72 . Without forming such abridging portion 72, it is difficult to open theclip claw member 42 reliably only by applying a force to expand theclip claw member 42, but in this embodiment , can reliably open theclip claw part 42 .

图9至图13示出本发明的第2实施方式。对于具有与第1实施方式同样功能的结构标以相同的标号,并省略对其的说明。9 to 13 show a second embodiment of the present invention. Components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted.

下面,对限制按压部件40的前进的前进限制机构以及释放夹子26的释放机构进行说明。Next, the advance restriction mechanism for restricting the advance of the pressingmember 40 and the release mechanism for releasing theclip 26 will be described.

在按压部件40的后端部,弹性地且可扩径和缩径地形成有扩缩径部80。处于扩径状态的扩缩径部80具有比护套小径部48的内径大的外径,具有与上述前进限制大径部52(参照图1至图8)同样的功能。另一方面,处于缩径状态的扩缩径部80与按压部件40的大致圆筒形状的本体部的外径基本相等,具有比护套小径部48的内径小的外径,可通过护套小径部48。At the rear end portion of the pressingmember 40 , a diameter-expanding andcontracting portion 80 is elastically formed so as to be expandable and contractible in diameter. The diameter-expandedportion 80 in the expanded state has an outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 and has the same function as the above-mentioned advance restricting large-diameter portion 52 (see FIGS. 1 to 8 ). On the other hand, the enlarged and contracteddiameter portion 80 in the reduced diameter state is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the substantially cylindrical body portion of the pressingmember 40, has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the sheathsmall diameter portion 48, and can pass through the sheath.Small diameter portion 48 .

扩缩径部80具有朝向按压部件40的径向内侧突出的突出部84。此外,在操作线30的前端部,一体地或分体地形成有外径大于操作线30的外径的大致圆柱状的施力部86。此外,与第1实施方式不同,在连接部件44上没有形成小圆柱状部68(参照图1至图8),施力部86的前端部通过粘结、机械地连接或焊接等连接在大圆柱状部66的后端部。该施力部86被插入按压部件40内,对凸起部84朝按压部件40的径向外侧施力,将扩缩径部80保持在扩径状态。在这里,施力部86的中心轴方向的长度被设定成,在使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40进退而开闭时,始终处于凸起部84的径向内侧,而将扩缩径部80保持在扩径状态。此外,在连接部件44的第1断裂部74断裂之后,当使操作线30相对于护套28后退、从按压部件40拔出施力部86时,施力部86对凸起部84的施力被解除,扩缩径部80被保持在缩径状态。The diameter-enlargedportion 80 has a protrudingportion 84 protruding radially inward of the pressingmember 40 . In addition, a substantially cylindrical biasingportion 86 having an outer diameter larger than that of theoperation wire 30 is integrally or separately formed at the front end portion of theoperation wire 30 . In addition, unlike the first embodiment, the small cylindrical portion 68 (see FIGS. 1 to 8 ) is not formed on theconnection member 44, and the front end portion of theforce applying portion 86 is connected to the large circle by bonding, mechanically connecting, or welding. The rear end portion of thecolumnar portion 66 . The urgingportion 86 is inserted into the pressingmember 40 , urges theprotrusion 84 radially outward of the pressingmember 40 , and maintains the diameter-expanding/contracting portion 80 in an expanded state. Here, the length of the central axis direction of the urgingpart 86 is set so that when theclip claw member 42 is moved forward and backward relative to the pressingmember 40 to open and close, it is always on the radially inner side of theboss part 84 and expands and contracts. Thediameter portion 80 is maintained in a diameter-expanded state. In addition, after thefirst breaking portion 74 of theconnection member 44 is broken, when theoperation wire 30 is retreated relative to thesheath 28 and the biasingportion 86 is pulled out from the pressingmember 40 , the biasing of theprotrusion 84 by the biasingportion 86 The force is released, and the diameter-enlarged and contractedportion 80 is maintained in the diameter-reduced state.

下面,说明夹子爪部件42的开闭机构。本实施方式的夹子爪部件42具有一对臂部60相互交叉的两个交叉部分88。在这两个交叉部88之间,各臂部60被折弯而形成山形部分90。另一方面,按压部件40的前端部成为凸缘形状,在按压部件40的前端部,形成有内径小于按压部件40的本体部的内径的开闭小径部92。在本实施方式中,开闭小径部92的前后端部分别做成台阶形状,但是,也可以是斜面(slope)形状等其他形状。在这里,夹子26的朝向宽度方向的各山形部分90之间的距离在没有被施加外力的自然状态下,大于按压部件40的开闭小径部92的内径,但是,既可以大于按压部件40的本体部的内径,也可以小于按压部件40的本体部的内径。此外,通过使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进,从而各山形部分90被插入开闭小径部92内,朝向按压部件40的径向内侧相互接近,一对臂部60的前端侧打开。另一方面,通过使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40后退,从而各山形部分90被从开闭小径部92拔出,朝向按压部件40的径向外侧相互离开,一对臂部60的前端侧闭合。Next, the opening and closing mechanism of theclip claw member 42 will be described. Theclip claw member 42 of the present embodiment has two intersectingportions 88 in which the pair ofarm portions 60 intersect each other. Eacharm portion 60 is bent to form a mountain-shapedportion 90 between the twointersection portions 88 . On the other hand, the front end of the pressingmember 40 has a flange shape, and an opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 having an inner diameter smaller than that of the main body of the pressingmember 40 is formed at the front end of the pressingmember 40 . In the present embodiment, the front and rear end portions of the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 are each formed in a stepped shape, but other shapes such as a slope shape may also be used. Here, the distance between the mountain-shapedportions 90 facing the width direction of theclip 26 is greater than the inner diameter of the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 of the pressingmember 40 in a natural state without external force applied, but it may be greater than that of the pressingmember 40. The inner diameter of the main body may be smaller than the inner diameter of the main body of the pressingmember 40 . Further, by advancing theclip claw member 42 relative to the pressingmember 40 , each chevron-shapedportion 90 is inserted into the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 , approaches each other radially inward of the pressingmember 40 , and the front ends of the pair ofarm portions 60 are opened. On the other hand, by making theclip claw member 42 retreat relative to the pressingmember 40, each chevron-shapedportion 90 is pulled out from the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92, and is separated from each other toward the radially outer side of the pressingmember 40, and the front ends of the pair ofarm parts 60 side closed.

接着,参照图9至图13,说明基于本实施方式的结扎装置的活体组织的结扎方法。下面,对与第1实施方式同样的工序,省略详细的说明。Next, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 13 , a method for ligation of living tissue using the ligation device of this embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, detailed descriptions of steps similar to those of the first embodiment will be omitted.

参照图9,将夹子26收纳在护套28的前端部中,将护套28的前端部插入体腔内,配置在结扎对象部位A的附近。Referring to FIG. 9 , theclip 26 is accommodated in the front end portion of thesheath 28 , and the front end portion of thesheath 28 is inserted into the body cavity and placed near the site A to be ligatured.

参照图10,操作线30的前端部的施力部86对突起部84朝按压部件40的径向外侧施力,从而扩缩径部80被保持在扩径状态。在该状态下,使夹子26从护套28的前端部突出,通过进退限制机构,限制按压部件40相对于护套28的前端部的进退。此外,通过使滑块36相对于操作部本体34前进,从而通过操作线30使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进。其结果是,夹子爪部件42的各臂部60的山形部分90插入开闭小径部92,朝向按压部件40的径向内侧相互接近,一对臂部60的前端侧打开。Referring to FIG. 10 , the urgingportion 86 at the front end of theoperation wire 30 urges theprotrusion 84 radially outward of the pressingmember 40 , so that the diameter-expanding/contracting portion 80 is kept in an enlarged state. In this state, theclip 26 is made to protrude from the front end portion of thesheath 28 , and the advance and retreat of the pressingmember 40 relative to the front end portion of thesheath 28 is restricted by the advance and retreat restricting mechanism. In addition, by advancing theslider 36 relative to the operation partmain body 34 , theclip claw member 42 advances relative to the pressingmember 40 via theoperation wire 30 . As a result, the chevron-shapedportion 90 of eacharm portion 60 of theclip claw member 42 is inserted into the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 , approaches each other radially inward of the pressingmember 40 , and the front ends of the pair ofarm portions 60 are opened.

参照图11,将夹子爪部件42的前端部按压到活体组织的结扎对象部位A。然后,使滑块36相对于结扎装置的操作部本体34后退,从而通过操作线30使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40后退。其结果是,夹子爪部件42的各臂部60的山形部分90被从开闭小径部92中拔出,朝向按压部件40的径向外侧相互离开,一对臂部60的前端侧闭合。这样,活体组织被结扎。在不能对结扎对象部位A适当地进行结扎的情况下,反复进行上述开闭操作,直到结扎对象部位A被适当地结扎为止。Referring to FIG. 11 , the front end portion of theclip claw member 42 is pressed against the ligation target site A of the living tissue. Then, theslider 36 is retracted relative to the operation partmain body 34 of the ligation device, and theclip claw member 42 is retracted relative to the pressingmember 40 via theoperating wire 30 . As a result, the chevron-shapedportion 90 of eacharm portion 60 of theclip claw member 42 is pulled out from the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 , and moves away from each other radially outward of the pressingmember 40 , and the front ends of the pair ofarm portions 60 are closed. In this way, the living tissue is ligated. If the ligation target site A cannot be properly ligated, the opening and closing operation described above is repeated until the ligation target site A is properly ligated.

参照图12,在结扎对象部位A被适当地结扎、夹子爪部件42被充分地拉进按压部件40中的状态下,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退,从而使连接部件44的第1断裂部74断裂,使夹子爪部件42与操作线30分离。并且,在第1断裂部74断裂之后,进一步使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退。其结果是,操作线30的前端部的施力部86被从按压部件40拔出,施力部86对凸起部84的施力被解除,扩缩径部80向缩径状态弹性地转移,而可通过护套小径部48。这样,按压部件40从护套28的前端部分离。Referring to FIG. 12 , in a state where the ligation target site A is properly ligated and theclip claw member 42 is fully drawn into the pressingmember 40 , theslider 36 is retreated relative to theoperation part body 34 , so that the second connectingmember 44 The breakingportion 74 is broken, and theclip claw member 42 is separated from theoperation wire 30. Then, after thefirst breaking portion 74 is broken, theslider 36 is further retreated with respect to the operation portionmain body 34 . As a result, the urgingportion 86 at the front end of theoperation wire 30 is pulled out from the pressingmember 40, the urging force of the urgingportion 86 on theprotrusion 84 is released, and the diameter-expanding and shrinkingportion 80 elastically shifts to the diameter-shrinking state. , and can pass through thesmall diameter portion 48 of the sheath. In this way, the pressingmember 40 is separated from the front end portion of thesheath 28 .

参照图13,将护套28相对于内窥镜拔出,将夹子26从护套28的前端部释放。Referring to FIG. 13 , thesheath 28 is pulled out relative to the endoscope, and theclip 26 is released from the front end portion of thesheath 28 .

从而,本实施方式的结扎装置可以获得下面的效果。在本实施方式的夹子爪部件42的开闭机构中,通过使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进,从而夹子爪部件42的各臂部60的山形部分90被插入到按压部件40的开闭小径部92中,通过开闭小径部92相互接近,一对臂部60打开。另一方面,通过使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40后退,从而山形部分90被从开闭小径部92拔出而相互离开,一对臂部60闭合。因而,即使在反复进行夹子爪部件42的开闭的情况下,无论夹子爪部件42的材质如何,都可以防止由夹子爪部件42的塑性变形引起的打开宽度的减小,可持久地反复进行夹子爪部件42的开闭。Therefore, the ligation device of this embodiment can obtain the following effects. In the opening and closing mechanism of theclip claw member 42 of the present embodiment, by advancing theclip claw member 42 relative to the pressingmember 40 , the chevron-shapedportion 90 of eacharm portion 60 of theclip claw member 42 is inserted into the opening of the pressingmember 40 . In the closing small-diameter portion 92, the pair ofarm portions 60 are opened as the opening-closing small-diameter portions 92 approach each other. On the other hand, by retreating theclip claw member 42 relative to the pressingmember 40 , the chevron-shapedportion 90 is pulled out from the opening and closing small-diameter portion 92 to separate from each other, and the pair ofarm portions 60 are closed. Therefore, even when the opening and closing of theclip claw member 42 is repeated, regardless of the material of theclip claw member 42, the reduction of the opening width caused by the plastic deformation of theclip claw member 42 can be prevented, and repeated operations can be performed permanently. Opening and closing of theclip claw member 42 .

另外,在本实施方式的夹子26的释放机构中,通过使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退,从而施力部86通过操作线30从按压部件40中被拔出,施力部86对凸起部84的施力被解除,扩缩径部80向缩径状态弹性地转移,而可通过护套小径部48。这样,借助于弹性变形进行按压部件40与护套28的前端部之间的分离,与通过塑性变形进行这种分离的情况相比,能可靠地进行分离,同时,可减少所需的操作力量。In addition, in the release mechanism of theclip 26 according to the present embodiment, the biasingportion 86 is pulled out from the pressingmember 40 through theoperation wire 30 by moving theslider 36 backward relative to theoperation portion body 34 , and the biasingportion 86 acts against the pressingmember 40 . The urging force of theprotrusion 84 is released, and the diameter-expanding and shrinkingportion 80 elastically shifts to the state of reducing the diameter, and can pass through the small-diameter portion 48 of the sheath. In this way, the separation between the pressingmember 40 and the front end portion of thesheath 28 is carried out by means of elastic deformation, compared with the case of carrying out this separation by plastic deformation, the separation can be reliably carried out, and at the same time, the required operating force can be reduced. .

图14及图15示出本发明的第3实施方式。对具有与第1实施方式同样功能的结构标以相同的标号,并省略对其的说明。14 and 15 show a third embodiment of the present invention. Components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted.

参照图14,本实施方式的按压部件40具有使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进的弹性部。该弹性部通过突出设置在按压部件40的内周面上的板簧94形成。该板簧94既可以与按压部件40一体地形成,也可以与按压部件40分体地形成并通过粘结、机械地连接或焊接等与按压部件40连接起来。与第1实施方式同样,夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40配置在最前端的位置,板簧94配设在连接部件44的大圆柱状部66的后端部的位置。此外,在使操作线30相对于护套28后退、使连接部件44相对于按压部件40后退的情况下,板簧94借助于连接部件44的大圆柱状部66的锥状而弹性变形,从而产生使连接部件44前进的回弹力。Referring to FIG. 14 , the pressingmember 40 of this embodiment has an elastic portion that advances theclip claw member 42 relative to the pressingmember 40 . The elastic portion is formed by aleaf spring 94 protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the pressingmember 40 . Theleaf spring 94 may be integrally formed with the pressingmember 40 , or formed separately from the pressingmember 40 and connected to the pressingmember 40 by bonding, mechanically connecting, or welding. As in the first embodiment, theclip claw member 42 is arranged at the frontmost position with respect to the pressingmember 40 , and theleaf spring 94 is arranged at the rear end of the largecylindrical portion 66 of the connectingmember 44 . In addition, when theoperation wire 30 is retracted with respect to thesheath 28 and theconnection member 44 is retracted with respect to the pressingmember 40 , theplate spring 94 is elastically deformed by the tapered shape of thelarge columnar portion 66 of theconnection member 44 to generate Resilience force that advances the connectingmember 44 .

接着,参照14及图15,说明基于本实施方式的结扎装置的活体组织的结扎方法。下面,对于与第1实施方式同样的工序,省略详细的说明。Next, with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 , a method of ligation of living tissue using the ligation device of this embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, detailed descriptions of steps similar to those of the first embodiment will be omitted.

使滑块36相对于结扎装置的操作部本体34后退,从而使夹子爪部件42闭合来把持活体组织。这时,连接部件44相对于按压部件40后退,板簧94借助于连接部件44的大圆柱状部66的锥状而弹性变形,产生使连接部件44前进的回弹力。在不能对结扎对象部位A适当地进行结扎的情况下,解除对滑块36的操作力。其结果是,借助于板簧94的回弹力,夹子爪部件42、连接部件44及操作线30相对于按压部件40或护套28自动地前进,夹子爪部件42打开,结扎对象部位A被释放。之后,反复进行上述操作,直到结扎对象部位A被适当地结扎为止。Theslider 36 is retracted relative to theoperation part body 34 of the ligation device, and theclip claw member 42 is closed to grasp the living tissue. At this time, the connectingmember 44 retreats relative to the pressingmember 40 , and theleaf spring 94 is elastically deformed by the tapered shape of thelarge columnar portion 66 of the connectingmember 44 , generating a resilient force for advancing the connectingmember 44 . When the site to be ligated A cannot be properly ligated, the operating force on theslider 36 is released. As a result, theclip claw member 42, the connectingmember 44, and theoperation wire 30 are automatically advanced relative to the pressingmember 40 or thesheath 28 by the resilient force of theplate spring 94, theclip claw member 42 is opened, and the site A to be ligated is released. . Thereafter, the above operation is repeated until the site A to be ligated is properly ligated.

从而,本实施方式的结扎装置可以获得下面的效果。在经由操作线30将滑块36相对于操作本体部的前进操作传递给连接部件44的结构中,存在因操作线30的松弛而不能充分将操作力传递给连接部件44、从而不能可靠地使连接部件44前进的情况。在本实施方式的结扎装置中,借助于按压部件40的板簧94的弹力,使夹子爪部件42、连接部件44及操作线30相对于按压部件40或护套28前进。因而,能可靠地使连接部件44前进,从而能够可靠地开闭夹子爪部件42。Therefore, the ligation device of this embodiment can obtain the following effects. In the structure in which the forward operation of theslider 36 relative to the operation main body portion is transmitted to theconnection member 44 via theoperation wire 30 , the operation force cannot be sufficiently transmitted to theconnection member 44 due to the slack of theoperation wire 30 , and the operation force cannot be reliably used. The case where the connectingmember 44 advances. In the ligation device of this embodiment, theclip claw member 42 , theconnection member 44 , and theoperation wire 30 advance relative to the pressingmember 40 or thesheath 28 by the elastic force of theleaf spring 94 of the pressingmember 40 . Therefore, thelink member 44 can be advanced reliably, and theclip claw member 42 can be opened and closed reliably.

另外,仅通过解除对滑块36的操作力,就可以借助于板簧94的弹力,使连接部件44相对于按压部件40自动地前进。因而,不需要进行滑块36相对于操作本体部34的前进操作,可非常简便地进行结扎装置的操作。In addition, only by releasing the operating force on theslider 36 , theconnection member 44 can be automatically advanced relative to the pressingmember 40 by virtue of the elastic force of theleaf spring 94 . Therefore, the operation of the ligation device can be performed very simply, without the need to perform the forward operation of theslider 36 relative to the operationmain body portion 34 .

此外,本实施例的弹性部也可适用于第2实施方式。In addition, the elastic part of this Example is also applicable to 2nd Embodiment.

图16及图17示出本发明的第4实施方式。对于具有与第3实施方式同样功能的结构标以相同的标号,并省略对其的说明。16 and 17 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Components having the same functions as those in the third embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

本实施方式的弹性部由螺旋弹簧96形成。该螺旋弹簧96在连接部件44的大圆柱状部66的锥状的前端部与按压部件40的卡定小径部78的前端面之间,内装在按压部件44中并且外装在连接部件44上。在对滑块36的操作力被解除的情况下,夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40配置在最前端的位置,螺旋弹簧96没有被压缩。此外,通过使操作线30相对于护套28后退,使连接部件44相对于按压部件40后退,从而螺旋弹簧96被锥状的前端部与卡定小径部78的前端面压缩,产生使连接部件44前进的回弹力。基于本实施方式的结扎装置的活体组织的结扎方法,与基于第3实施方式的结扎装置的活体组织的结扎方法相同。The elastic portion in this embodiment is formed of acoil spring 96 . Thecoil spring 96 is built into the pressingmember 44 and externally mounted on the connectingmember 44 between the tapered front end of the largecylindrical portion 66 of the connectingmember 44 and the front end of the lockingsmall diameter portion 78 of the pressingmember 40 . When the operating force on theslider 36 is released, theclip claw member 42 is arranged at the frontmost position with respect to the pressingmember 40, and thecoil spring 96 is not compressed. In addition, when theoperation wire 30 is retracted with respect to thesheath 28 and theconnection member 44 is retracted with respect to the pressingmember 40, thecoil spring 96 is compressed by the tapered front end portion and the front end surface of the locking small-diameter portion 78, and theconnection member 44 is compressed. 44 Forward rebound. The method of ligation of living tissue by the ligation device of this embodiment is the same as the method of ligation of living tissue by the ligation device of the third embodiment.

在本实施方式中,使用螺旋弹簧96作为弹性部,因此,与第3实施方式那样使用板簧94的情况相比较,能可靠地获得大的弹力。因而,可以对连接部件44向前端侧施加大的力,能够可靠地打开夹子爪部件42。In this embodiment, since thecoil spring 96 is used as an elastic part, compared with the case where theplate spring 94 is used like 3rd Embodiment, a large elastic force can be acquired reliably. Therefore, a large force can be applied to the front end side of the connectingmember 44, and theclip claw member 42 can be reliably opened.

图18至图22示出本发明的第5实施方式。对于具有与第1实施方式同样功能的结构标以相同的标号,并省略对其的说明。18 to 22 show a fifth embodiment of the present invention. Components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted.

下面,说明对按压部件40的进退进行限制的进退限制机构。Next, the advance and retreat restriction mechanism for restricting the advance and retreat of the pressingmember 40 will be described.

本实施方式的护套小径部48配置在距护套28的前端预定距离的后端侧。该护套小径部48通过从外周面侧对护套28挤压(潰す)以使其向径向内侧突出而形成,或者,通过在护套28的内周面连接其他部件而形成。本实施方式的护套小径部48作为前进限制护套小径部及后退限制护套小径部发挥功能。即,利用护套小径部48的后端侧形成限制按压部件40的前进的前进限制止挡50。另一方面,利用护套小径部48的前端侧形成限制按压部件40的后退的后退限制止挡54。此外,按压部件40的前端部做成凸缘形状,在按压部件40的前端部形成有外径增大的后退限制大径部98。此外,通过使按压部件40的后退限制大径部98与护套小径部48的后退限制止挡54抵接,从而限制按压部件40相对于护套28的后退。The sheath small-diameter portion 48 of the present embodiment is arranged on the rear end side at a predetermined distance from the front end of thesheath 28 . The sheath small-diameter portion 48 is formed by pressing (crushing) thesheath 28 from the outer peripheral surface to protrude radially inward, or by connecting another member to the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 . The sheath small-diameter portion 48 of the present embodiment functions as the advance restricting sheath small-diameter portion and the retreat restricting sheath small-diameter portion. That is, theadvance restriction stopper 50 that restricts the advance of the pressingmember 40 is formed by the rear end side of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 . On the other hand, aretraction limiting stopper 54 that restricts the retraction of the pressingmember 40 is formed on the front end side of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 . In addition, the front end portion of the pressingmember 40 is formed in a flange shape, and a retraction restricting large-diameter portion 98 having an enlarged outer diameter is formed on the front end portion of the pressingmember 40 . Further, the retreat of the pressingmember 40 relative to thesheath 28 is restricted by bringing the retreat restricting large-diameter portion 98 of the pressingmember 40 into contact with theretreat restricting stopper 54 of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 .

在这里,在按压部件40的前进限制大径部52与护套小径部48的前进限制止挡50抵接的情况下,按压部件40相对于护套28位于最前端的位置,将该按压部件40的位置称作前端限制位置。此外,护套28的前端与护套小径部48的前进限制止挡50之间的长度,和按压部件40的前端部与前进限制大径部52的前端面之间的长度大致相等或比其稍短。即,在按压部件40配置在前端限制位置的情况下,按压部件40的前端部被配置在护套28前端的位置,或稍稍从护套28的前端突出。另一方面,在按压部件40的后退限制大径部98与护套小径部48的后退限制止挡54抵接的情况下,按压部件40相对于护套28位于最后端的位置,将该按压部件40的位置称作后端限制位置。Here, when the advance limiting large-diameter portion 52 of the pressingmember 40 abuts against the advancing limitingstopper 50 of the sheath small-diameter portion 48, the pressingmember 40 is located at the frontmost position with respect to thesheath 28, and the pressing member The position of 40 is called the front limit position. In addition, the length between the front end of thesheath 28 and theadvance limiting stopper 50 of the sheath small-diameter portion 48 is approximately equal to or shorter than the length between the front end of the pressingmember 40 and the front end surface of the advancing limiting large-diameter portion 52 . slightly shorter. That is, when the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the front end restricting position, the front end of the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the front end of thesheath 28 or slightly protrudes from the front end of thesheath 28 . On the other hand, when the large-diameter portion 98 of the pressingmember 40 abuts against thestopper 54 of the small-diameter portion 48 of the sheath, the pressingmember 40 is located at the rearmost position relative to thesheath 28, and the pressingmember 40 The position of 40 is called the rear limit position.

在按压部件40被配置在前端限制位置的情况下,通过使操作线30相对于护套28前进,从而夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进,通过使操作线30相对于护套28后退,从而按压部件40与夹子爪部件42一体地相对于护套28后退。另一方面,在按压部件40被配置在后端限制位置的情况下,通过使操作线30相对于护套28后退,从而夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40后退,通过使操作线30相对于护套28前进,从而按压部件40与夹子爪部件42一体地相对于护套28前进。在按压部件40被配置于前端限制位置与后端限制位置之间的情况下,通过使操作线30相对于护套28进退,从而按压部件40与夹子爪部件42一体地相对于护套28进退,夹子爪部件42受到护套28的内周面的作用力而开闭。When the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the front end restraint position, theclip claw member 42 advances relative to the pressingmember 40 by advancing theoperation wire 30 relative to thesheath 28 , and moves theoperation wire 30 backward relative to thesheath 28 . Thereby, the pressingmember 40 retreats with respect to thesheath 28 integrally with theclip claw member 42 . On the other hand, when the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the rear end restricting position, by moving theoperation wire 30 back relative to thesheath 28, theclip claw member 42 moves back relative to the pressingmember 40, and by moving theoperation wire 30 back relative to thesheath 28 Thesheath 28 advances so that the pressingmember 40 advances relative to thesheath 28 integrally with theclip claw member 42 . When the pressingmember 40 is disposed between the front end restriction position and the rear end restriction position, the pressingmember 40 advances and retreats with respect to thesheath 28 integrally with theclip claw member 42 by advancing and retreating theoperation wire 30 with respect to thesheath 28 . , theclip claw member 42 is opened and closed by the force of the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 .

接着,参照图18至图22,说明基于本实施方式的结扎装置的结扎方法。下面,对于与第1实施方式同样的工序,省略详细的说明。Next, a ligation method using the ligation device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 to 22 . Hereinafter, detailed descriptions of steps similar to those of the first embodiment will be omitted.

参照图18,将夹子26安装在护套28的前端部,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退。其结果是,夹子26相对于护套28后退,按压部件40被配置在后端限制位置,进而夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40后退,夹子爪部件42以夹子爪部件42不会露出到外部的方式被收纳在护套28中。在该状态下,将护套28的前端部插入体腔内,配置在活体组织的结扎对象部位A的附近。Referring to FIG. 18 , theclip 26 is mounted on the front end portion of thesheath 28 , and theslider 36 is moved backward relative to theoperation portion body 34 . As a result, theclip 26 retreats relative to thesheath 28, the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the rear end restriction position, and theclip claw member 42 retreats relative to the pressingmember 40, so that theclip claw member 42 is not exposed to the outside. The way is accommodated in thesheath 28 . In this state, the front end portion of thesheath 28 is inserted into the body cavity, and placed in the vicinity of the site A to be ligated in living tissue.

参照图19,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34前进,从而使夹子26相对于护套28前进,将按压部件40配置于前端限制位置,进而,使夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40前进并配置在最前端的位置,最大限度地打开夹子爪部件42。Referring to FIG. 19 , theslider 36 is advanced relative to theoperation part body 34, thereby theclip 26 is advanced relative to thesheath 28, the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the front end limit position, and theclip claw member 42 is advanced relative to the pressingmember 40. And it is arranged at the frontmost position, and theclip claw member 42 is opened to the maximum.

参照图20,将夹子爪部件42的前端部按压到结扎对象部位A之后,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退。其结果是,夹子26相对于护套28后退,夹子爪部件42通过护套28的内周面闭合,结扎对象部位A被临时结扎。在这里,在不能适当地进行临时结扎的情况下,进行再结扎。即,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34前进,从而使夹子26相对于护套28前进,解除护套28的内周面对夹子爪部件42的施力,打开夹子爪部件42,释放结扎对象部位A。然后,再次进行临时结扎。Referring to FIG. 20 , after the front end portion of theclip claw member 42 is pressed against the site A to be ligatured, theslider 36 is moved back relative to theoperation unit body 34 . As a result, theclip 26 retreats relative to thesheath 28, theclip claw members 42 are closed by the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28, and the site A to be ligated is temporarily ligated. Here, re-ligation is performed when temporary ligation cannot be properly performed. That is, theslide block 36 is advanced relative to theoperation part body 34, thereby theclip 26 is advanced relative to thesheath 28, the force applied by the inner peripheral surface of thesheath 28 to theclip claw member 42 is released, theclip claw member 42 is opened, and the ligation is released. Target part A. Then, a temporary ligation is performed again.

参照图21,在适当地进行临时结扎的情况下,转移到正式结扎。即,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退,从而使夹子26相对于护套28后退,将按压部件40配置于后端限制位置。进而,使滑块36相对于操作部本体34后退,与第1实施方式同样,对结扎对象部位A进行正式结扎。Referring to FIG. 21 , when the temporary ligation is properly performed, it is transferred to the final ligation. That is, theclip 26 is moved back relative to thesheath 28 by moving theslider 36 back relative to the operation portionmain body 34 , and the pressingmember 40 is arranged at the rear end regulation position. Furthermore, theslider 36 is retracted with respect to the operation partmain body 34, and the main ligation is performed on the site to be ligated A similarly to the first embodiment.

参照22及图23,与第1实施方式同样,将夹子爪部件42从操作线30的前端部分离,同时,将按压部件40从护套28的前端部分离,将夹子26从护套28的前端部分离。22 and FIG. 23 , similar to the first embodiment, theclip claw member 42 is separated from the front end portion of theoperation wire 30 , and at the same time, the pressingmember 40 is separated from the front end portion of thesheath 28 , and theclip 26 is separated from the front end portion of thesheath 28 . The front part is separated.

从而,本实施方式的结扎装置可以获得下面的效果。在如第1实施方式那样,使用可弹性地动作的翼部56作为按压部件40的后退限制机构的情况下,在将夹子26收纳在护套28的前端部中、将翼部56折叠在按压部件40的状态下,翼部56的弹性会劣化,从而在使按压部件40从护套28的前端部突出的情况下,翼部56不能充分地扩开,存在不能充分地发挥作为后退限制机构的功能的情况。在本实施方式中,由于使用固定的后退限制大径部98作为按压部件40的后退限制机构,所以,可避免上述情况发生,能可靠地限制按压部件40的后退。Therefore, the ligation device of this embodiment can obtain the following effects. In the case of using the elasticallymovable wing portion 56 as the retreat restricting mechanism of the pressingmember 40 as in the first embodiment, theclip 26 is accommodated in the front end portion of thesheath 28 and thewing portion 56 is folded in the pressing position. In the state of themember 40, the elasticity of thewing portion 56 deteriorates, so that when the pressingmember 40 protrudes from the front end portion of thesheath 28, thewing portion 56 cannot be fully expanded, and there is a problem that it cannot fully function as a retreat restricting mechanism. The function of the situation. In this embodiment, since the fixed large-diameter portion 98 for restricting retreat is used as the retreat restricting mechanism of the pressingmember 40 , the above situation can be avoided, and the retreat of the pressingmember 40 can be reliably restricted.

另外,由于在夹子26从护套28前端分离之后也需要保持对活体组织进行结扎的状态,所以为了使夹子爪部件42与按压部件40彼此可靠地卡装在一起,在夹子爪部件42与按压部件40之间需要某种程度的摩擦力。但是,若摩擦力过大,则会妨碍夹子爪部件42相对于按压部件40的前进,也有可能妨碍夹子爪部件42扩开。在本实施方式中,在有可能反复进行的临时结扎中,通过使夹子26相对于护套28进退来进行夹子爪部件42的开闭,从而可避免因夹子爪部件42与按压部件40之间的摩擦力妨碍夹子爪部件42扩开。In addition, since it is necessary to maintain the state of ligating the living tissue even after theclip 26 is separated from the front end of thesheath 28, in order to securely engage theclip claw part 42 and thepressing part 40 together, theclip claw part 42 and thepressing part 40 must be connected together. Some degree of friction is required between theparts 40 . However, if the frictional force is too large, the advancement of theclip claw member 42 relative to the pressingmember 40 may be hindered, and expansion of theclip claw member 42 may be hindered. In this embodiment, in the temporary ligation that may be repeated repeatedly, theclip claw member 42 is opened and closed by advancing and retreating theclip 26 relative to thesheath 28 , so that the gap between theclip claw member 42 and the pressingmember 40 can be avoided. The frictional force prevents theclip jaw members 42 from expanding.
