Abstract

A multifunctional surgical operation device comprises clips serving as a plurality of surgical operation tools, a plurality of manipulating wires interlocked with the plurality of clips, the manipulating wires being capable of independently manipulating the plurality of clips respectively, a manipulating section capable of manipulating the plurality of manipulating wires, and a switch lever capable of being selectively engaged with the plurality of manipulating wires. In this device, the manipulating section is manipulated, thereby making it possible to manipulate only the clip interlocked with the manipulating wire engaged with the switch lever.

Claims (23)

1. A multifunctional surgical operation device comprising:

a plurality of surgical operation tools;

a plurality of manipulating members interlocked with the plurality of surgical operation tools and capable of independently manipulating the plurality of surgical operation tools each;

a manipulating section capable of manipulating the plurality of manipulating members; and

a switch lever mounted at the manipulating section and capable of being selectively engaged with the plurality of manipulating members, wherein only a surgical operation tool interlocked with the manipulating member engaged with the switch lever can be manipulated by manipulation of the manipulating section;

wherein the manipulating member comprises a manipulating wire movably inserted into the introducing tube, and the surgical operation tools are connected to a distal end of the manipulating wire.

2. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of surgical operation tools are movably inserted into an introducing tube capable of being inserted into a living body cavity.

3. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the switch lever can rotate relevant to the manipulating section.

4. A device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the surgical operation tools is three or more, and the switch lever can be selectively engaged with three or more manipulating members.

5. A multifunctional surgical operation device comprising:

a plurality of surgical operation tools;

a plurality of manipulating members interlocked with the plurality of surgical operation tools and capable of independently manipulating the plurality of surgical operation tools each;

a manipulating section capable of manipulating the plurality of manipulating members; and

a switch lever mounted at the manipulating section and capable of being selectively engaged with the plurality of manipulating members, wherein only a surgical operation tool interlocked with the manipulating member engaged with the switch lever can be manipulated by manipulation of the manipulating section;

wherein the plurality of surgical operation tools are composed of identical tools.

6. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the tools are composed of clips capable of ligating a living tissue.

7. A device according to claim 6 , wherein the clips each have a proximal end portion, a pinch section is formed at a distal end of an arm section extending from the proximal end portion, and opening/expanding properties are imparted.

8. A device according to claim 7 , wherein there is provided a clip tightening ring engagingly mounted on the arm section of the clip, thereby closing the pinch section of the clip.

9. A device according to claim 8 , wherein there is provided a protruding member movably inserted into the introducing tube in close proximity to the clip tightening ring arranged at the most proximal end portion of the introducing tube.

10. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of surgical operation tools are movably inserted into an introducing tube capable of being inserted into a living body cavity.

11. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the manipulating member comprises a manipulating wire movably inserted into the introducing tube, and the surgical operation tools are connected to a distal end of the manipulating wire.

12. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the switch lever can rotate relevant to the manipulating section.

13. A device according to claim 5 , wherein the number of the surgical operation tools is three or more, and the switch lever can be selectively engaged with three or more manipulating members.
