Vorrichtung zum Anbringen von chirurgischen Klammern bei laparoskopischen oder endoskopischen Eingriffen
摘要
An apparatus (10) is disclosed for individually applying surgical clips endoscopically to body tissue which includes a frame, an elongated endoscopic section (14) having clip closing jaws positioned at a distal end thereof and surgical clips slidably positioned therein, rotatably connected to a distal end of the frame such that the endoscopic section extends distally therefrom. The apparatus (10) includes a system for individually advancing the surgical clips into the clip closing jaws and a system for closing the clip closing jaws. An interference mechanism (120) is associated with the release mechanism, and is configured, dimensioned and adapted to prevent actuation of the jaw closing system until a surgical clip is positioned between the clip closing jaws. <IMAGE>
