Abstract

A treatment device includes a support section having conductivity, for which a separate position separated from the probe is switched to a support position at which the support section abuts the probe to support the probe when bent in a direction off of the central axis in accordance with a load which is applied to the probe, and subserviently moved with the vibration of the probe. The support section absorbs the vibration transmitted in the probe when the support section is at the support position.

First claim

1 - 17 . (canceled)

18 . A treatment device comprising:
a probe which has a proximal end connected to a transducer generating ultrasonic vibration and a distal end at which a treatment section which treats living tissue is formed, and in which the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted from the proximal end to the distal end; a sheath in which the probe is inserted in such a manner that the treatment section is projected toward the distal end of the probe on the distal end side; and a support section which is provided on an inner circumferential surface of the sheath, contacts the probe when the probe is bent, is subserviently moved with the probe in a state when the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted, and is made of a vibration-dampening alloy which absorbs the ultrasonic vibration.

19 . The treatment device according to claim 18 , wherein the support section has abrasion resistance to prevent from grinding the probe and to prevent from being grinded by the probe.

20 . The treatment device according to claim 18 , wherein the vibration-dampening alloy has a dampening capacity of 10 % or greater.

21 . The treatment device according to claim 18 , wherein the support section is provided on a more distal end side than a node position of the ultrasonic vibration formed on a most distal end side of the probe.

22 . The treatment device according to claim 18 , further comprising an action portion which is provided on the distal end of the sheath and which opens and closes with respect to the treatment section,
wherein the support section is arranged opposite to the action portion with respect to the probe.
