Abstract

A hemostatic clip includes: a clip body formed by folding an intermediate section of a belt-like member; and a holding tube. The clip body includes: a first member formed of a first metallic material that is elastically deformable; and a pair of second members that are formed of a second metallic material having a lower elastic strain limit than an elastic strain limit of the first metallic member and are connected to respective both ends of the first member. The holding tube is configured to change an opening width of the clip body by holding part of the clip body in the holding tube.

Claims (19)

1. A hemostatic clip comprising:

a clip body formed by folding an intermediate section of a belt-like member, and

a holding tube, wherein

the clip body includes:

a first member formed of a first metallic material that is elastically deformable; and

a pair of second members that are formed of a second metallic material having a lower elastic strain limit than an elastic strain limit of the first metallic material and are connected to respective both ends of the first member, and

the holding tube is configured to change an opening width of the clip body by holding part of the clip body in the holding tube.

2. The hemostatic clip according to claim 1 , wherein

the first member includes:

a bending point formed by folding part of the first member that is in a middle of the both ends of the first member; and

enlarged sections that are formed in the respective both ends of the first member and extend to be bent in a direction in which the enlarged sections separate from each other, and

the second members connected to the respective enlarged sections are configured to come close to each other as part of the enlarged sections are held in the holding tube.

3. The hemostatic clip according to claim 2 , wherein the enlarged sections have respective elastic deformation sections configured to be elastically deformed in a direction in which the elastic deformation sections come close to each other by a distal end section of the holding tube pushing the elastic deformation sections.

4. The hemostatic clip according to claim 3 , wherein the first member is configured to be elastically deformed when the second members are at a position where distal end sections of the second members come close to each other.

5. The hemostatic clip according to claim 4 , wherein one of the both ends of the first member and an end of one of the second members are stacked and joined.

6. The hemostatic clip according to claim 5 , wherein the first member and the second members are joined by metallic bonding.

7. The hemostatic clip according to claim 6 , wherein the clip body is formed by a process of removing part of a multi-layered metal sheet in which the first member and the second members are stacked and joined by the metallic bonding.

8. The hemostatic clip according to claim 6 , wherein the first member and the second members constitute a cladding material in which the first member and the second members are stacked through the metallic bonding.

9. The hemostatic clip according to claim 5 , wherein the first member and the second members are joined by welding.
