Patent ID: 7938779

Claim:
A treating apparatus comprising: a grasping portion configured to grasp a living-body tissue; a pair of electrodes provided in the grasping portion configured to apply high frequency current to the living-body tissue to heat the living-body tissue; a heat generating portion provided in the grasping portion configured to heat the grasping portion; a first switch configured to activate the heat generating portion; a second switch configured to activate the pair of electrodes; a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the living-body tissue; and a control device configured to operate the first switch to activate the heat generating portion to perform heating for a predetermined time period, and if a temperature detected by the temperature sensor after heating by the heat generation portion for the predetermined time period has not reached a set temperature, to operate the first switch and the second switch to alternately perform heating by the heat generating portion and heating by the pair of electrodes in a time-division manner.
