Abstract
The medical apparatus of this invention includes a therapeutic section at least having a blade for treating a living tissue thermally, a heat insulating part for insulating heat conduction from the blade to the main body of the medical apparatus. The therapeutic section and the heat insulating part are preferably provided on a grasping section (for example, a pair of jaws) for grasping the living tissue. It is preferable that the therapeutic section has a shape such that the living tissue and the side surface of the therapeutic section do not contact with each other. It is also preferable that the heat insulating portion has a shape such that the living tissue and the heat insulating portion do not contact with each other.
