Abstract:
When a bendable medical instrument is used, the present invention reduces a risk that a body of the medical instrument is damaged. The present invention provides a medical instrument which includes: a deformable portion; a wire configured to deform the deformable portion; and a driving unit configured to transmit driving force to the wire, wherein: the medical instrument includes a load detecting unit configured to detect load applied to the deformable portion; and when the load detected by the load detecting unit exceeds a threshold value, the driving unit breaks connection between the wire and the driving force.

Claim (Index 2):
The medical instrument according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a driving force transmitter configured to transmit the driving force from the driving unit to the wire, wherein the medical instrument includes a load detecting unit configured to detect load externally applied to the deformable portion; and in a case where the load detected by the load detecting unit exceeds a threshold value, the driving force transmitter breaks connection between the wire and the driving unit, thereby putting the deformable portion to a natural state at which the deformable portion is deformable in accordance with an external force, wherein in a case where the load detected by the load detecting unit is below the threshold value while the deformable portion is in the natural state, the driving force transmitter resumes connection between the wires.
