Clip applicator for ligature clips
First Claim
1. Clip applicator for ligature clips, particularly for laparoscopic operations, comprising a tubular rod system, with a proximal end and a distal end, at whose proximal end is provided a two-part, scissor-like handle and at whose distal end is provided jaws for receiving a clip, in which said handle is associated with said jaws to bring about a closure of the jaws if the two handle parts are moved relative to one another, characterized in that the tubular rod system contains a restoring wire, whose distal end is constructed in the form of a hook and in the operative position is positioned with said hook protruding from said jaws, whereas the proximal end of the restoring wire is connected in the vicinity of the handle to an operating lever projecting from said tubular rod system.

Abstract
The invention relates to a clip applicator for ligature clips, particularly for laparoscopic operations, comprising a tubular rod system, at whose one end is provided a two-part, scissor-like handle and at whose opposite end are provided jaws for receiving a clip, in which one handle part of the scissor-like handle is fixed to one part of the rod system, while the other handle part brings about about a closure of the jaws if the two handle parts are moved relative to one another, against spring tension, about their pivot axis located below and at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the tubular rod system, characterized in that in the tubular rod system (2) is movably arranged a restoring wire (30), whose front or proximal end (32) is constructed in hook-like manner and in the inoperative position is positioned with an upwardly open hook alongside the jaws (24, 26), while the rear or distal end (34) of the restoring wire (30) is connected in the vicinity of the handle (4) to an operating lever (36) projecting out of the tubular rod system ( 2).
