Abstract:
An endoscope treatment tool includes: a sheath having a lumen; a basket portion being configured to protrude from the lumen and formed of at least one elastic wire; and a manipulation wire causing the basket portion to be moved, wherein the elastic wire has a maximum-outer-diameter portion between distal and proximal ends of the elastic wire and a largest portion that, between the maximum-outer-diameter portion and the proximal end of the elastic wire, reaches the maximum size in an opposite direction from maximum-outer-diameter portion in a side view from a direction orthogonal to a perpendicular line drawn to a center axis from the maximum-outer-diameter portion, and wherein, in a front view of the basket portion, the largest portion is positioned on an opposite side from the side of the maximum-outer-diameter portion with respect to a straight line that is orthogonal to the perpendicular line on the center axis.

Claim (Index 2):
An endoscope treatment tool comprising:\n a sheath having a lumen that extends along a longitudinal axis thereof; a basket portion that is configured to protrude from the lumen of the sheath and that is formed of at least one elastic wire; a support member that is inserted into the sheath and in which a distal end thereof is secured to a distal end of the basket portion; and a manipulation wire that causes the basket portion to be moved forward and backward in a longitudinal direction of the sheath, wherein the at least one elastic wire has\n a maximum-outer-diameter portion between a distal end of the elastic wire and a proximal end of the elastic wire, and \n a largest portion that, between the maximum-outer-diameter portion and the proximal end of the elastic wire, reaches a maximum size in an opposite direction from the maximum-outer-diameter portion in a side view from a direction that is orthogonal to a perpendicular line drawn to a center axis of the basket portion from the maximum-outer-diameter portion, \n wherein, in a front view of the basket portion, the largest portion is positioned on an opposite side from the side of the maximum-outer-diameter portion with respect to a straight line that is orthogonal to the perpendicular line on the center axis, wherein, in a state in which a region of the basket portion is accommodated in a papilla, a force is applied to a portion of the at least one elastic wire between the maximum-outer-diameter portion and the largest portion in a direction in which the straight line is crossed so that an outer diameter of the portion becomes greater than that of the maximum-outer-diameter portion, the region being between the proximal end of the elastic wire and the largest portion, and wherein the support member is configured so that, when the maximum-outer-diameter portion whose diameter is increased is pressed by a wall of a bile duct, the center axis is tilted with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sheath by bending the support member, the support member having a greater rigidity than the elastic wire.
