ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to surgical forceps for applying clips to fallopian tubes in an operation known as tubal ligation. Such forceps are known which comprise a stem having an opening at its distal end for insertion of a clip formed by two branches held apart by an elastic connecting strap comprising a closing lever displaceable in said stem axially with respect to said clip by means of a proximal handle and situated in the area of said stem opening, which by actuation of said handle is pivoted into the closed position and brings the free extremities of said clip branches into coupled engagement gripping one behind the other in hooklike manner.
In such forceps the improvement consists in that a cylindrical sleeve is provided which is arranged to be pushable axially over said forceps stem from the distal extremity, which brings or pivots the unclosed branch of the inserted clip projecting from the periphery of said forceps stem in the excised portion of said stem against the other clip branch held fast in said forceps without coupled engagement into a position in alignment with said forceps stem insertible through a trocar sleeve.
