7. An ultrasonic operating apparatus comprising:
-
an ultrasonic transducer which generates ultrasonic vibrations; a probe portion which has a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being coupled to the ultrasonic transducer, ultrasonic waves output from the ultrasonic transducer being transmitted to the probe portion; a first high-frequency electric path which is provided in a combination of the ultrasonic transducer and the probe portion and which transmits a high-frequency current; a sheath portion which is formed by a cylindrical member having a distal end and a proximal end and into which the probe portion is removably inserted, the sheath portion having a jaw swingably supported on the distal end thereof to be opposite to the probe portion; a handle portion which is detachably coupled to the proximal end of the sheath portion and which opens/closes the jaw with respect to the probe portion, the handle portion having a transducer connecting portion to which the ultrasonic transducer is detachably connected, and a hand switch which selects a function of the probe portion; a second high-frequency electric path which is provided in a combination of the sheath portion and the handle portion and which transmits a high-frequency current; a storage portion which stores the ultrasonic transducer; a cylindrical casing portion which has a distal end and a proximal end and which is installed outside the storage portion; an electric cable which has a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being connected to a power supply unit, the distal end being coupled to the electric cable connecting portion, the electric cable having at least an electric wiring line for the ultrasonic transducer, a high-frequency conducting electric wiring line connected to the first and second high-frequency electric paths, and a hand switch electric wiring line connected to the hand switch; an electric cable connecting portion disposed at the proximal end of the casing portion, the electric cable connecting portion having at least a transducer electric connecting portion connected to the electric wiring line for the ultrasonic transducer, two high-frequency conducting electric connecting portions respectively connected to the first and second high-frequency electric wiring lines, and a hand switch electric connecting portion connected to the wiring line of the hand switch; and a contact disposition portion disposed at the distal end of the casing portion, the contact disposition portion having at least an electric contact connected to the second high-frequency electric path, and a hand switch electric contact connected to the hand switch, an electric path between the electric cable connecting portion and the contact disposition portion being disposed between the storage portion and the casing.
