Endoscope.

摘要

An endoscope with a medical instrument (16), comprises an elongated insertion section (2) to be inserted in the human body; and a control section coupled to the proximal end of the insertion section. The insertion section includes an instrument raising chamber (11) formed in the distal end of the insertion section and having an opening (11a) through which the tip end portion of the instrument (16) is led out of the endoscope, a rotating disc (18) disposed inside the raising chamber (11) and capable of rocking around an axis at right angles to the extending direction of the instrument, an operating pin (19) protruding from the rotating disc (18), and a fixed pin (23) fixed in the raising chamber so as to face the operating pin at a space therefrom so that the instrument (16) extends between both pins (19, 23), the fixed pin (23) being located nearer to the axis of the rotating disc (18) than the operating pin (19) is. The instrument (16) is caused to abut on the fixed pin (23) and operating pin (19) by the rotating disc (18) and is bent on the fixed pin (23) to be raised by the operating pin (19) accompanying the rotation of the rotating disc (18).
