Abstract
An endoscope clip has a clip unit having an arm member configured from a plurality of arms; an operation wire connected to the arm member and configured to move toward a distal end side to cause the arm member to transition from a closed configuration to an open configuration; and a restrictor, wherein the clip unit applies a biasing force to the operation wire toward the distal end side when the arm member is in the closed configuration, and when the arm member is in the closed configuration, the restrictor is configured to restrict the arm member from transitioning from the closed configuration to the open configuration by applying a force being opposite to the biasing force to the operation wire to restrict the movement of the operation wire toward the distal end side.
