Abstract
An ultrasonic surgical apparatus of the present invention includes a vibration transmitting member for transmitting an ultrasonic vibration, a probe provided at a far end of the vibration transmitting member, a jaw adapted to grasp a tissue of interest relative to the probe, a jaw holding member movably supporting the jaw, an operation drive rod connected to the jaw, and an operation unit for operating the operation drive rod. A stopper tube is provided on the operation drive rod conductive to the opening/closing operation of the jaw and an opening/closing terminal position of the jaw relative to the probe is restricted by abutting the stopper tube against the jaw holding member.
