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 1):
A medical instrument comprising:\n a deformable portion;\n a plurality of wires configured to deform the deformable portion; \n a driving unit configured to generate driving force to independently drive the plurality of wires, and \n a controller configured to output driving signals to control the driving unit, the driving signals being signals for which expansion or contraction of the wires due to driving of the wires is compensated.
