Abstract:
A treatment instrument includes a first treatment portion including a first member with a first contact surface and a second member with a second contact surface; a movement mechanism to switch between a closed position where the first and second contact surfaces are close to each other and an open position where the first and second contact surfaces are separated each other; and a second treatment portion juxtaposed to the first treatment portion. A distal end of the second treatment portion is located at a distal side in the longitudinal axis than a distal end of the first treatment portion on the closed position.

Claim (Index 1):
A treatment instrument comprising:\n a sheath which defines a longitudinal axis with a distal end and a proximal end; a first treatment portion which includes a first member including a first contact surface coming into contact with a living tissue and a second member including a second contact surface facing the first contact surface and coming into contact with the living tissue at a position closer to a proximal side than the first contact surface along the longitudinal axis and which is configured to coagulate the living tissue by applying energy to the living tissue sandwiched between the first contact surface and the second contact surface; a movement mechanism which is configured to move at least one of the first member and the second member along the longitudinal axis and to switch between a closed position where the first contact surface is close to the second contact surface and an open position where the first contact surface is separate from the second contact surface; and a second treatment portion which is fixed to the sheath and juxtaposed to the first treatment portion, wherein a distal end of the second treatment portion is located at a position closer to a distal side along the longitudinal axis than a distal end of the first treatment portion when the first contact surface and the second contact surface are located at the closed position, and the distal end of the second treatment portion is located at the same position as the position of the distal end of the first treatment portion or located closer to the proximal side than the distal end of the first treatment portion when the first contact surface and the second contact surface are located at the open position.
