A ligation device for ligating a biological tissue, comprising:
- a flexible tube-shaped outer sheath member;
- a tube-shaped inner sheath member provided within the outer sheath member to be freely reciprocated;
- a manipulation wire provided within the sheath member to be freely reciprocated;
- and
- a plurality of clip units disposed in series within the distal end of the outer sheath member,
- wherein each of the clip units includes a clip body that ligates the biological tissue using a pair of arm parts biased to be largely opened each other and a base end section that connects the base ends of the arm parts, and
- a fastening ring configured to close the pair of arm parts by inserting the base end section of the clip body within a cylindrical body of the fastening ring,
- wherein the fastening ring includes:
- a connecting unit to connect adjacent fastening rings to each other;
- and
- a disconnection unit to engage with the manipulation and deforms the connecting unit by the pull of the manipulation wire, thereby releasing the connection of the fastening rings.
