Medical apparatus

摘要

A medical apparatus includes a distal end portion provided at a distal end of an insertion portion that has functions of performing inspection, treatment or observation, a bending portion provided with first and second ends and configured so as to bend in two or more directions by connecting the first end to the distal end portion and connecting a plurality of bending pieces, a bending portion operation unit provided in an operation section connected to a proximal end of the insertion portion that causes the bending portion to perform bending operation and a neutral position restoring elastic member fixed to the first end side and the second end side that generates elasticity for causing the bending portion to restore to a neutral position.

1. A medical apparatus comprising:
an insertion portion comprising:
a distal end portion connected to a distal end of the insertion portion, the distal end portion having one or more that has functions of performing inspection, treatment or observation; anda bending portion provided with proximal and distal ends, the distal end of the bending portion being connected to a proximal end of the distal end portion, the bending portion being configured with a plurality of bending pieces so as to bend in two or more directions; a bending portion operation unit provided in an operation section connected to the proximal end of the insertion portion that causes the bending portion to bend in the two or more directions; a built-in component disposed in the insertion portion that extends from the distal end portion toward the operation section; a neutral position restoring elastic member that includes a first end and a second end and generates elasticity for causing the bending portion to return to a neutral position, the neutral position restoring elastic member being provided with an inner holes extending from the first end to the second end; a distal fixing ring including an outer circumferential ring fixed to an inner circumferential face of one of the plurality of bending pieces, an inner circumferential ring that fixes the first end of the neutral position restoring elastic member wherein the inner circumferential ring of the distal fixing ring is provided in the outer circumferential ring of the distal fixing ring; and a proximal fixing ring including an outer circumferential ring fixed to an inner circumferential face of an other of the plurality of bending pieces, and an inner circumferential ring that fixes the second end of the neutral position restoring elastic member, wherein the inner circumferential ring of the proximal fixing ring is provided in the outer circumferential ring of the proximal fixing ring; wherein the built-in component disposed in the insertion portion is inserted in the inner hole.
