A medical treatment tool includes: a forceps; an operating section; a sheath; first and second sections bending the sheath; and at least two wires passing through the first and second sections and transmitting, to the forceps, a force applied to the operating section. The sheath includes lumens allowing the wires to pass therethrough. With respect to a position of lumens at which the first and second sections are bent in opposite directions in the same plane, the lumens are twisted between the first and second sections in the same direction by the same angle that operating direction of the operating section is twisted relative to the opposite direction mentioned above. The first and second sections are bent in directions in which changes in path lengths of the wires by bending of the first bending section are offset by changes in the path lengths by bending of the second bending section.
