- a drug can be kneaded into the biodegradable material and gradually dissolved to maintain the effect.
- the treatment instrument unit 12 has two bent portions 66 and 158. For this reason, the range in which the distal end 52a of the insertion portion 42 can be directed can be increased as compared with the case where only the insertion portion 42 of the endoscope 18 has a bent portion. For this reason, the affected part, that is, the inside of the sinuses can be observed more reliably, and the drug solution can be more reliably administered and dispersed to the affected part.

- the entire guide pipe 104 is formed of an elastic portion having a certain flexibility. Therefore, when the guide pipe 104 is in contact with the entrance of the sinuses and an excessive force is applied, the elastic portion 174b bends to apply a load to the mucous membrane, bone, etc. around the opening of the sinuses. Can be prevented.
- the insertion portion 42 of the endoscope 18 has flexibility. For this reason, when the distal end 52a of the insertion portion 42 of the endoscope 18 is introduced into the sinuses, it is not necessary to cut the entrance to the sinuses, crush the vicinity of the entrance, or enlarge the entrance. .
- a balloon 176 disposed at the distal end 172a of the guide pipe 104 is inflated near the entrance of the sinus cavity. The guide pipe 104 only holds its position relative to the sinus inlet. Therefore, when performing a treatment using the treatment system 10 according to this embodiment, the invasion to the patient can be greatly reduced.
