An object of the present invention is to provide a medical instrument insertion apparatus and a medical instrument insertion apparatus system in which an insertion unit can securely be propelled forward in a body cavity while stabilized by a simple mechanism. The medical instrument insertion apparatus includes a helical structure unit provided in a long and thin insertion unit (10), a retaining unit (30) which retains the insertion unit (10) along a predetermined axis direction while the retaining unit (30) can proceed and withdraw, and a rotation drive unit (20) which rotates the retaining unit (30) about the predetermined axis. Therefore, operability is improved in inserting the insertion unit (10), and the insertion unit (10) can securely be inserted into the body cavity while an operator does not require complicated operation or skill. |
