A ligating apparatus includes a clip, a clip connecting member, a clip holding member, an operating wire, an inner sheath member, an outer sheath member and first and second movement restricting portions. The clip ligates a body tissue with arm portions. The clip connecting member connects to a clip base portion. The clip connecting member is inserted through the clip holding member. The operating wire connects to the clip connecting member. The inner sheath member encloses the operating wire to support the clip holding member. The outer sheath member covers an outer periphery of the inner sheath member and freely advances and retreats. The outer sheath member advances and/or retreats to change the degree of opening of the arm portions. The first movement restricting portion restricts the inward movement of the clip holding member. The second movement restricting portion restricts the outward movement of the clip holding member.

Ligating apparatus

A multiple hemostatic clip application apparatus operates for tissue clamping in combination with an endoscope. For use with the clip application apparatus, a clip package is provided, and has a multiple clip assembly, which includes a clip device, and a fastening mechanism, disposed at a proximal end of the clip device, for fastening to a shaft head of an operating wire inserted through a flexible sheath of the clip application apparatus. A coupling device includes a casing for containing the multiple clip assembly in a manner movable from the fastening mechanism toward the flexible sheath, and a guide slider for pressing the shaft head toward the fastening mechanism, for fastening together. The fastening mechanism emerges from the casing, the shaft head being overlapped on the fastening mechanism in an axial direction of the multiple clip assembly.

A movable part locking jig is loaded into a cassette loader in a radiation image forming apparatus, and a lever is moved to project casing locking members from opposite side walls of a casing, thereby locking the movable part locking jig in the radiation image forming apparatus. Movable part locking members also projects to be brought into abutment against suction cups disposed near the cassette loader, thereby locking the suction cups. Then, the radiation image forming apparatus is moved to a desired location.
