Forceps support device

Abstract

A forceps support device (1) for supporting forceps (60) used for endoscopic treatment, the forceps support device comprising: a frame (2); a pair of forceps support sections (11, 11) provided at both ends of the frame (2); forceps support means (20) respectively provided to the forceps support sections (11) to support the forceps (60) in such a manner that the forceps can pivot in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction; and a drive means for pivoting the forceps support means (20) in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. The forceps support means (20) are each provided with: a first arm (21) joined to a forceps support section (11) so as to be pivotable in the horizontal direction; a second arm (27) joined to the forceps support section (11) so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction; and a forceps support member (35) bridged between the first arm (21) and the second arm (27), pivotable in the horizontal direction while following the first arm (21), and pivotable in the vertical direction while following the second arm (27). The forceps (60) are supported by the forceps support members (35).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a forceps supporting device, and in particular, relates to a device for effectively supporting forceps and an endoscope used for treating diseases of the digestive organs and the like when performing endoscopic treatment on the digestive organs and the like in the abdominal cavity of a human body. Pliers support device. Background technique [0002] In recent years, when treating diseases such as digestive organs in the abdominal cavity of the human body, in order to minimize trauma to the human body, an endoscope is inserted into the body from the mouth, nose, etc., and the digestive organs, etc. are treated with forceps mounted on the endoscope. diseases are treated. [0003] In the above-mentioned endoscopic treatment, for example, an endoscopic surgical manipulator described in Patent Document 1 is used. This endoscopic surgical manipulator includes an endoscope, a pair of forceps arms, a head supporting portion f...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the endoscopic surgical manipulator of the above-mentioned structure, by manipulating the wire to swing the swing head lever and bend the first flexible tube, and to make the pair of forceps swing or rotate following the first flexible tube, a Since the pair of forceps is positioned at a position corresponding to the disease of the digestive organs, etc., the positioning accuracy of the pair of forceps depends on the bending responsiveness of the first flexible tube, and the pair of forceps cannot be positioned at the desired position with high precision.

[0009] In addition, after making a pair of forceps correspond to diseases such as digestive organs, in the case of adjusting the position of each forceps in the front-rear direction at this position, it is necessary to manipulate the wire to swing the swing head lever again to bend the first flexible tube, Alternatively, the entire endoscopic surgical manipulator is moved back and forth to adjust the position of the pair of forceps in the front-back direction, and the fine adjustment of the position of the pair of forceps in the front-back direction cannot be performed with high precision.

[0010] In addition, since a pair of forceps can be opened and closed on the same surface, it is difficult to perform the necessary front and rear crossing during treatment.
