20080294159High frequency surgical instrument - A high frequency surgical instrument having a forceps assembly at a fore distal end of an elongated insertion member, the forceps assembly being constituted by a pair of opening and closing grasper members which are shaped with a series of saw teeth on an inner meeting side in such a way that saw tooth portions on the two grasper members are at least partly brought into abutting engagement with each other when the grasper member are closed. For manipulating opening and closing actions of the grasper members, a manipulative transmission means is threaded through the insertion member, connecting the paired grasper members of the forceps to a manipulation handle which is attached to a proximal end of the insertion member. Each one of the grasper members is formed of a conducting material and arranged to have a width narrower than outside diameter of the insertion member on the saw-toothed inner side. The grasper members are electrically connectible to a high frequency power source, and are entirely covered with an insulating coat except saw tooth portions.11-27-2008
20100022826ENDOSCOPICALLY INSERTING SURGICAL TOOL - An endoscopically inserting surgical tool is composed of an elongated flexible cord to be passed through a tool guide channel on an endoscope, and a tool action mechanism mounted on a fore distal end of the flexible cord to be projected out of the tool guide channel. The flexible cord has such a length that, when the tool action mechanism is projected out of a tool exit opening at the end of the tool guide channel, a proximal end portion of the flexible cord still remains outside and rearward of a tool entrance way which is provided on a manipulating head grip of the endoscope as an approach to the tool guide channel. A proximal end portion of the flexible cord is gripped in a rotary tool adjustor which is manipulable to turn the tool action mechanism clockwise or counterclockwise together with the flexible cord in the tool guide channel of the endoscope.01-28-2010
