Abstract
A hand-piece comprises an arm main body which moves relative to a grip section, and an arm section having a clamp member openable and closable with respect to a probe section. As a result of movement of the arm main body relative to the grip section, the clamp member is shifted between a closure position in which the clamp member cooperates with the probe section to hold living tissue between the clamp member and the probe section, and an open position in which the clamp member is separated from the probe section to release the living tissue.
