Abstract
A medical power supply includes a medical instrument and a guide tube. The power receiving member is arranged radially outside the insertion portion, and when the insertion portion is inserted into the guide tube to a predetermined length such that the power transmitting member and the power receiving member are close to each other, a power transmitting side proximal end surface of the power transmitting member and a power receiving side distal end surface of the power receiving member face each other in an axial direction of the insertion portion and are in a positional relationship such that wireless power supply is possible.
Claims7
A medical power supply system comprising:
- a medical instrument which has an elongated insertion portion that is inserted into a body, an end effector that is provided at a distal end portion of the insertion portion, and a power receiver that has a power receiving member and receives power to be supplied to the end effector;
- and
- a guide tube which has a power transmitting member that is connected to a power source and that is provided at a proximal end side of the guide tube, and which guides the insertion portion of the medical instrument so as to be inserted from the proximal end side into the body,
- wherein the power receiving member is arranged radially outside the insertion portion, and
- when the insertion portion is inserted into the guide tube to a predetermined length such that the power transmitting member and the power receiving member are close to each other, a power transmitting side proximal end surface of the power transmitting member and a power receiving side distal end surface of the power receiving member face each other in an axial direction of the insertion portion and are in a positional relationship such that wireless power supply is possible.
