| 1. An endoscopic treatment instrument to be inserted into a body together with an endoscope insertion part for carrying out
a treatment for living organisms, the endoscopic treatment instrument comprising:
a plurality of elongated flexible sheaths;
an operating part provided at a proximal portion of each of the plurality of flexible elongated sheaths;
a distal end treatment unit provided at a distal portion of each of the plurality of flexible elongated sheaths for carrying
out a treatment for living organisms;
a supporting member for directly or indirectly supporting the plurality of flexible elongated sheaths disposed substantially
in parallel with the endoscope insertion part for constraining a relative position of the plurality of flexible elongated
sheaths; and
a connecting member for directly or indirectly connecting the sheaths and the endoscope insertion part;
wherein the position of the supporting member relative to the connecting member is changeable at least in a direction perpendicular
to the endoscopic insertion part to change the arrangement of the plurality of sheaths with respect to the endoscope insertion
