Abstract
A basket-type grasping tool, adapted for use in combination with an endoscope, for capturing a foreign material or the like into a basket section. Axially corresponding portions of elastic wires are each twisted in the same direction about a center axis of a basket section. Guide paths, through which the elastic wires respectively pass, are formed on an inner face of a tip-end mouth of a sheath.
