Abstract
A loop section has a bending portion at the distal end. The bending portion bends in a direction that intersects the plane formed by the loop section. A diathermic snare is used in combination with an endoscope. When the loop section expands along the inner circumference of an engagement projection of a cap section, the bending portion of the loop section conforms to the corner of the bending portion of the projection.
