ABSTRACT:
In a surgical applicator for U-shaped clips comprising a handle, a tubular shaft adjoining the handle, a forceps-type applicator tool at the free end of the tubular shaft, a closing mechanism for the applicator tool arranged in the tubular shaft and actuatable from the handle, an advancing mechanism for the clips arranged in the tubular shaft and also actuatable from the handle, two separate actuating elements on the handle, each being movable between a rest position and a work position, one of the actuating elements being associated with the closing mechanism and the other with the advancing mechanism, in order to improve the safety measures and the actuating aids, it is proposed that a locking member be mounted on one of the actuating elements and enter into operative connection with the other actuating element, thereby to prevent each of the two actuating elements from moving so long as the respective other actuating element is not in its rest position.
