In an endoscopic treatment instrument having a plurality of sheaths, a supporting member for directly and indirectly supporting the plurality of sheaths, and a connecting member for directly/indirectly bringing the sheaths and an endoscope in a connected state are provided. The supporting member constrains a relative position of the plurality of sheaths and the connecting member can change the connecting state. Therefore, when an operator changes the connecting state of the connecting member, the positional relation of the endoscope and the plurality of sheaths can be changed, while the positional relation of the plurality of sheaths is still constrained. Accordingly, for example, left and right sheaths can be easily exchanged.

A system configured for endoscopic treatment of tissue is provided. The system includes an elongate shaft having a proximal portion, a distal portion and a working channel extending at least partially through the shaft. The elongate shaft further includes a longitudinally extending central axis. A distal end of the distal portion of the elongate shaft includes a distal tip having a curvilinear portion. The curvilinear portion is configured to dilate a stricture in a gastrointestinal tract for passing a portion of the system through the stricture to the tissue. The distal tip includes a working channel port connected to the working channel.

One of a first endoscopic treatment instrument setting state and a second endoscopic treatment instrument setting state is selectable. In the former state, when a first diathermic snare is removably inserted in a flexible tube, a loop portion is circumferentially broadened and disposed along a first projection portion. In the latter state, when a second diathermic snare is removably inserted in the flexible tube, a loop portion is circumferentially broadened and disposed along a second projection portion.

A treating instrument for an endoscopic treatment has a pair of treating members at the distal end of a sheath. The treating members are opened or closed in a beaklike manner by a control wire axially movably inserted in the sheath. A pair of links of different lengths are integrally connected to the treating members, respectively. A pair of intermediate links of different lengths are rotatably connected at one end thereof to the pair of links, respectively, and driven at the other end thereof by the control wire so as to move back and forth. The shorter intermediate link is connected to the longer link. The longer intermediate link is connected to the shorter link.

The endoscopic treatment instrument is equipped with a pliable flexible sheath, an operating wire inserted to be freely advancible and retractable in said flexible sheath, a basket provided on the distal end of said operating wire and configured from multiple elastic wires, and a clasp provided at the distal ends of said elastic wires to tie the multiple elastic wires together. The region of said basket of maximum diameter in the radial direction is located closer to the clasp than the midway point in the central axial direction between the proximal end of the basket and the clasp. Each of the multiple elastic wires has a helical shape that is wound in the same direction over the entire length thereof and the winding pitch becomes gradually smaller when moving from the distal end of the operating wire towards the clasp.

An endoscopic treatment instrument is provided comprising: a cylinder adapted to be fitted over a tip of an insertion section of an endoscope; a loop-shaped snare wire which protrudes in the cylinder from a snare sheath that is extendable and retractable with respect to the insertion section and which is extendable within the cylinder; a hooked portion which is formed and radially inwardly extended from the circumference of the tip of cylinder and which holds the snare wire within the cylinder; a locking portion which is provided on the hooked portion and retains a folded-back portion of the snare wire that is forwardly moved toward the cylinder tip with respect to the snare sheath and by means of which the snare wire is turned upside-down around the folded-back portion.

A treatment instrument for an endoscope is provided that is suitable for cutting submucosa in endoscopic submucosal dissection. The treatment instrument for an endoscope includes a treatment portion having a cutting unit at a tip of an insertion portion that is to be inserted into the body. The main unit of the treatment portion is formed in a sawtooth shape having a peak portion and a valley portion. An electrode plate serving as the cutting unit is provided in the valley portion.

An endoscope system has an endoscope; an attachment for the endoscope, having a non-circular irregularly shaped hole that communicates with an opening of a channel of the endoscope and attached to a forward end of an insertion section of the endoscope; and a treatment instrument for the endoscope, having a flexible tube and a treatment section. An extension/retraction section having a non-circular cross section corresponding to the shape of an opening of the irregularly shaped holes is provided at a forward end of the flexible tube, and the irregularly shaped hole restricts rotation of the flexible tube. Further, the treatment section has directivity about its axis relative to the flexible tube and its rotation is restricted.
