One end of the first clamping member is disposed on the connecting rod, and the other end of the first clamping member has a first clamping head. One end of the second clamping member is disposed on the connecting rod, and the other end of the second clamping member has a second clamping head. The first extension tube is disposed on an inner side of the first clamping head. The second extension tube is disposed on an inner side of the second clamping head and opposite to the first extension tube, wherein a relative position of the first extension tube and the second extension tube is adjustable. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fixing device for suturing of blood vessels, comprising: a connecting rod; a first clamping member, wherein one end of the first clamping member is disposed on the connecting rod, and the first clamping member has a first clamping head; a second clamping member, wherein one end of the second clamping member is disposed on the connecting rod, and the second clamping member has a second clamping head, wherein the first clamping head and the second clamping head respectively comprise two oppositely-joined solid tubes; a first extension tube disposed on an inner side of the first clamping head; and a second extension tube is disposed on an inner side of the second clamping head and opposite to the first extension tube, wherein a relative position of the first extension tube and the second extension tube is adjustable. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively comprise two clamping arms and a shaft portion, and the two clamping arms are openably and closably pivoted on the shaft portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively comprise a spring disposed on the shaft portion or connected between the two clamping arms. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively comprise two clamping arms, and the two clamping arms are openably and closably pivoted on the connecting rod. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The fixing device according to claim 4, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively comprise a spring disposed on the connecting rod or connected between the two clamping arms. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The fixing device according to claim 2, wherein outer surfaces of the two clamping arms are respectively provided with a positioning groove. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The fixing device according to claim 4, wherein outer surfaces of the two clamping arms are respectively provided with a positioning groove. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the first extension tube and the second extension tube respectively comprise two oppositely-joined hollow tubes. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The fixing device according to claim 8, wherein outer surfaces of the two oppositely-joined hollow tubes respectively have an anti-slip structure. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The fixing device according to claim 9, wherein the anti-slip structure is a dot, a straight line pattern, a wave pattern, a mesh pattern, or a combination thereof. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively have a fixing seat, each of the fixing seats has an opening, and the connecting rod passes through the openings of the first clamping member and the second clamping member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The fixing device according to claim 11, wherein the opening has a non-circular shape, and the connecting rod matches the shape of the opening. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member respectively comprise two clamping arms, the two clamping arms of the first clamping member are integrally formed and intersect with each other to form a first elastic clamping structure and the two clamping arms of the second clamping member are integrally formed and intersect with each other to form a second elastic clamping structure. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The fixing device according to claim 13, wherein outer surfaces of the two clamping arms are respectively provided with a positioning groove.
