ELECTRICALLY CURVABLE ENDOSCOPE DEVICE

摘要

The present invention has an object to provide an electric bending endoscope apparatus with a configuration which is always capable of securing favorable operability at a time of using an endoscope without placing a weight burden on an operator when operating the endoscope, and for the purpose, the electric bending endoscope apparatus includes at least an electric bending endoscope that is configured by an elongated insertion portion which is inserted into a body cavity, a bending drive section which electrically drives a part of the insertion portion to bend, and an operation portion configured to be separate from the bending drive section and electrically connected to the bending drive section, and performs observation and treatment of an inside of the body cavity, a system controller which is electrically connected to the electric bending endoscope and centrally controls the electric bending endoscope, and an endoscope holding device configured by a bending drive unit which contains the bending drive section and holds a part of the electric bending endoscope, and an arm portion which is connected to the bending drive unit and holds the bending drive unit, and is configured such that by the bending drive unit being attachably and detachably connected to a proximal end side of the insertion portion, the electric bending endoscope and the bending drive section are electrically connected.
