Abstract
A surgical treatment apparatus includes a receptacle which is configured to abut onto a treatment section so that a predetermined clearance is formed between an electrode section and the treatment section when a grip member is closed relative to the treatment section. The surgical treatment apparatus includes a regulating section which is provided in the grip member so that a closing-direction end located on a closing-direction side of the grip member does not protrude from the receptacle toward the closing direction, the regulating section being made of a material harder than the receptacle, and a handle unit configured to operate the grip member so that the regulating section is closed up to a position where the regulating section contacts the treatment section except when the receptacle contacts the treatment section.
