<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snare for an endoscope capable of surely tightening a sessile polyp or a raised mucous membrane or the like by a snare loop so as not to cause slipping, being easily manufactured and improving durability. <P>SOLUTION: In the snare for the endoscope, the snare loop 10 goes in and out of the tip of a sheath 1 by operating an operation wire 2 forwards and backwards in an axial direction and the snare loop 10 is expanded by its own elasticity outside the sheath 1 and is narrowed by being pulled into the sheath 1. As an elastic wire 11 constituting the snare loop 10, a single metal wire is used by being turned to the shape of being continuously curved in a helical shape around an axis. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
