Patent ID: 8298249

Claim:
A medical ligating apparatus comprising: a medical ligating device which is adapted to be kept in a body and ligates a target; and a manipulating device which is operated to introduce the medical ligating device into the body, wherein the medical ligating device includes; a flexible line having a proximal end portion, a distal end portion and a middle portion between the proximal end portion and a distal end portion, a ligating section for ligating living tissues being formed by the distal end portion, and an engagement section being provided at the proximal end portion, the middle portion comprising two flexible wire portions, a fixing assembly provided between the ligating section and the engagement section, the fixing assembly including a first member and a second member provided to be engageable with the first member, the second member being configured to sandwich a part of the middle portion of the flexible line together with the first member and support the part of the flexible line when the second member is engaged with the first member, and a cutting member provided on the first member, the cutting member being configured to cut the middle portion of the flexible line sandwiched between the first and second members when the first and second members are engaged with each other, and wherein the manipulating device includes; a sheath at least distal end side of which is inserted into the body, a proximal manipulating section being provided on a proximal end side of the sheath, an manipulating wire which is inserted in the sheath, the manipulating wire having an engagement member at its distal end portion, which is engageable with the engagement section of the medical ligating device, and a wire operating device provided on the proximal manipulating section and connected to a proximal end portion of the manipulating wire wherein the first and second members are adapted to be kept in a body in a state that the first and second members support the part of the middle portion of the flexible line which ligates the living tissues.
