In order to maximise the pivoting range of the arms in a surgical instrument for the placement of C-shaped ligature clips having two legs connected to one another by means of a bridge section with two clamping jaws, which in an open position receive an open ligature clip between them and are movable into a closed position by approaching one another and in so doing close the ligature clips by their legs approaching one another, with two elastically deformable arms, each bearing a clamping jaw at its distal end, and with a slide, which is displaceable relative to the arms in the longitudinal direction thereof, and which abuts against the abutment surfaces of the arms and as a result of this abutment against the abutment surfaces elastically pivots the arms relative to one another in a pivoting plane out of a starting position into an end position upon displacement of the slide relative to the arms, in association with a small size of the instrument, it is proposed that at least over a part of their length and at least over a part of their width the two arms are arranged in planes running parallel to the pivoting plane and displaced relative to one another and overlap one another at least partially.
