FIG. 1A is a perspective view illustrating a structure of an intra-body-cavity insertion instrument fastener 10 according to the first embodiment of the invention. FIG. 1B illustrates a use state of the intra-body-cavity insertion instrument fastener 10.
The intra-body-cavity insertion instrument fastener 10 includes an insertion section 18 which is inserted into a body cavity 16 from an insertion hole 14 formed in a body wall 12 and is held in the body wall 12, partially exposed to outside of a human body. A sheath 20 is further protruded from a top end of the insertion section 18, and an arcuate groove section 22 is formed at the top end of the sheath 20. A snare loop 24 protrudes from the center of the groove section 22. The snare loop 24 is connected through the sheath 20 to a slider (not illustrated) provided on the insertion section 18, and is configured so as to tighten as the slider is pulled.
