To reduce a possibility to allow a curved medical apparatus.SOLUTION: A medical device comprises: a curved medical apparatus including a curvable body and held sections; and an insertion unit including a mobile body to/from which the curved medical apparatus can be attached/detached and a drive section for moving the mobile body. The insertion unit can be inclined so as to allow an inclination angle of the curved medical apparatus mounted on the mobile body to be changed with respect to a horizontal direction. The mobile body includes: recessions for receiving the held sections; a lock member for locking the held section inside the recession; and restriction surfaces opposing to the recessions. In a state where the held section is positioned inside the recession and also the inclination angle is the maximum, the restriction surface is extended upward so as to allow an upper end of the restriction surface to be positioned upper than a lower end of the held section, and also the upper end of the restriction surface forms a lower end of an opening of the recession.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】湾曲医用機器が落下する可能性を低減する。【解決手段】医療装置は、湾曲可能体と被保持部とを有する湾曲医用機器と、前記湾曲医用機器を着脱可能な移動体と、前記移動体を移動させる駆動部と、を有する挿入ユニットと、を備える。前記挿入ユニットは、前記移動体に装着された前記湾曲医用機器の水平に対する傾斜角度が変化するように、傾斜可能である。前記移動体は、前記被保持部を受け入れる凹部と、前記被保持部を前記凹部内にロックするロック部材と、前記凹部に対向する規制面と、を有する。前記被保持部が前記凹部内に位置され且つ前記傾斜角度が最大である状態において、前記規制面の上端が前記被保持部の下端よりも上方に位置するように前記規制面は上方側に向かって延びており、且つ、前記規制面の前記上端は前記凹部の開口の下端を形成する。【選択図】図６
