PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide endoscopic forceps constituted so that the forceps can be technically more easily detached from a distal member to be washed more effectively. SOLUTION: This endoscopic forceps comprises a forceps control rod 15, a pipe 6 constituting a forceps shaft, a distal member 4, and a joint member 21 as a rotary joint. The forceps control rod 15 is surrounded by rotary coupling members 28, 29 which slidable in the axial direction. The joint member 21 is supported near the distal member 4 in the proximal end of the pipe 6 so that the joint member is rotatable around the axis of the pipe 6 but immovable in the axial direction. And when the pipe 6 is attached to the distal member 4, the joint member 21 makes rotary couplings 25, 26 with the proximal end zone of the pipe 6. |
