A coagulating cutter according to the present invention comprises: a transmitting member for transmitting energy, for treating living body tissue, to the living body tissue; an outer sheath through which the transmitting member is passed; and a grasping section supported at the tip end portion of the outer sheath so as to be capable of turning with respect to the transmitting member, which allows the living body tissue to be grasped against the transmitting member. With such an arrangement, upon turning the grasping section toward the transmitting member to be in a closed state, the faces of the transmitting member and the grasping section, which face each other, provide a contact portion, where the transmitting member and the grasping section are in contact with each other over a predetermined length, for incising the living body tissue grasped between the transmitting member and the grasping section, and a non-contact portion, where the transmitting member and the grasping section are provided with a predetermined interval on both sides of the axis extending in the direction of the predetermined length of the contact portion so as not to be in contact with each other, for coagulating the living body tissue.
