A laparoscopic ligation clip applicator for automatically applying a plurality of ligation clips includes a handle assembly (10) having an actuator (14), an elongated shaft (12) connected to the handle assembly, and an actuating mechanism (15) disposed within the shaft. The actuating mechanism includes a clamp (26) for engaging a first piece (5) of the ligation clip and a slidable driver (28) for driving a second piece (7) of the ligation clip relative to the first piece. The actuating mechanism also includes a hold (30) for preventing rearward movement of the ligation clips, and an advancer (32) for sequentially feeding the ligation clips. A slidable cam (36), operably connected to the handle assembly, actuates the clamp, the driver and the advancer. <IMAGE> |
