Abstract

A probe which is configured to treat a bone by ultrasonic vibration, includes: a treatment section which is arranged on a distal end side of a vibration transmitting section, to which the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted through the vibration transmitting section. The treatment section includes: a cutting blade that includes a treatment surface, and cuts and treats the bone by the treatment surface; a protrusion that is provided at a position different from the cutting blade, protrudes in a direction different from the protruding direction of the treatment surface of the cutting blade, marks the bone, and defines a position of the bone to be treated with the cutting blade; and a regulation surface that is formed at a position where the protrusion is provided, and regulates entrance of the protrusion into the bone beyond a predetermined level.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A probe which is configured to treat a bone by ultrasonic vibration, comprising:
a vibration transmitting section that defines a longitudinal axis along which the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted from a proximal end side toward a distal end side; and
a treatment section which is arranged on the distal end side of the vibration transmitting section, to which the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted through the vibration transmitting section, the treatment section including:
a cutting blade that includes a treatment surface which protrudes in a direction crossing the longitudinal axis, and cuts and treats the bone by the treatment surface;
a protrusion that is provided at a position different from the cutting blade, protrudes in a direction different from the protruding direction of the treatment surface of the cutting blade, marks the bone, and defines a position of the bone to be treated with the cutting blade; and
a regulation surface that is formed at a position where the protrusion is provided, and regulates entrance of the protrusion into the bone beyond a predetermined level.

2. The probe according to claim 1 , wherein a contact area of the treatment surface of the cutting blade that comes into contact with the bone is larger than a contact area of the protrusion that comes into contact with the bone.

3. The probe according to claim 1 , wherein the regulation surface is formed of a flat surface or a curved surface, and the protrusion protrudes from the flat surface or the curved surface.

4. The probe according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion protrudes in a direction of the longitudinal axis.

5. A treatment device comprising:
a probe according to claim 1 ; and
a transducer unit that is connected with the probe and generates ultrasonic vibration.

6. A treatment system comprising:
a treatment device according to claim 5 ; and
a power supply unit that supplies electric power to the treatment device.
