Abstract:
1. A biological-tissue treating apparatus comprising: a gripper that clamps biological tissue to be joined; and an adhesive supplying part that supplies an adhesive to the biological tissue gripped by the gripper, wherein the adhesive supplying part includes a discharge port that discharges the adhesive to a contact surface of the gripper in contact with the biological tissue and a leakage preventing part that prevents leakage of the adhesive having an adhesion force from a gap between the surface of the biological tissue and the contact surface when the adhesive is discharged from the discharge port, wherein the leakage preventing part includes a peripheral-wall member surrounding the periphery of the contact surface and blocks the adhesive that leaks from the gap between the contact surface and the surface of the biological tissue and wherein the peripheral-wall member is provided in such a manner that the peripheral-wall member protrudes toward the contact surface and includes a driving part that causes the peripheral-wall member to protrude.
