Abstract
A clip device includes a clip unit having arms that open and close in a front direction and a holder that supports the arms to be pivotable in opening and closing directions, a sheath that is detachably connected to the clip unit, and a wire that passes through the sheath and is detachably connected to the arms, in which the arms have a first arm and a second arm, and the arms are able to transition between a first mode in which the first arm and the second arm pivot independently and a second mode in which the first arm, which pivots in an opening direction of the opening and closing directions, causes the second arm to pivot in a closing direction of the opening and closing directions.
Claims27
A clip device comprising:
- a clip unit having arms that open and close and a holder that supports the arms to be pivotable in opening and closing directions;
- a sheath that is detachably connected to the clip unit;
- and
- a wire that passes through the sheath and is detachably connected to the arms;
- wherein the arms have a first arm and a second arm, and
- the arms are able to transition between a first mode in which the first arm and the second arm pivot independently and a second mode in which the first arm, which pivots in an opening direction of the opening and closing directions, causes the second arm to pivot in a closing direction of the opening and closing directions.
A clip device comprising:
- a clip unit having arms that open and close and a holder that supports the arms to be pivotable in opening and closing directions;
- a sheath that is detachably connected to the clip unit and extends in a longitudinal axis direction;
- and
- a wire that passes through the sheath and is detachably connected to the arms,
- wherein the arms are able to transition between a first mode in which the arms open and close about a central axis of the sheath and a second mode in which the arms open and close about the central axis.
A clip unit loaded into a sheath of an applicator comprising:
- arms that open and close;
- and
- a holder that supports the arm to be pivotable in opening and closing directions,
- wherein the arms have a first arm and a second arm,
- the arms are able to transition between a first mode in which the first arm and the second arm pivot independently, and a second mode in which the first arm, which pivots in an opening direction of the opening and closing directions, causes the second arm to pivot in a closing direction of the opening and closing directions.
