PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for causing a plurality of tissue edges inside a body to come close to each other.SOLUTION: A device for causing a plurality of tissue edges inside a body to come close to each other is specifically an embodiment relating to a clip which may be used for closing an opening formed during surgery by causing tissue edges to come close to each other. One embodiment of the present invention can include a device for causing a plurality of tissue edges to come close to each other. The device can include a plurality of jaws, each having a first end part and a second end part, which are connected at the first end part. The device can also include a fixing element located between the jaws. The jaws can be moved from an open configuration to a closed configuration independently with respect to the fixing element. The open configuration can be a configuration in which the second end part of the jaw is located separated from the fixing element, and the closed configuration can be a configuration in which the second end part of the jaw engages with the fixing element and grips the tissue edge between the jaw and the fixing element.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 14A【課題】身体の内部の複数の組織縁を接近させるためのデバイスを提供すること。【解決手段】身体の内部の複数の組織縁を接近させるためのデバイスは、具体的には、組織縁を相互に接近させて、手術中に作成された開口を閉じるために使用されてもよい、クリップに関する実施形態である。本発明の一実施形態は、複数の組織縁を接近させるためのデバイスを含み得る。デバイスは、第１の端部および第２の端部を各々有する複数のジョーであって、第１の端部において連結される複数のジョーを含み得る。デバイスはまた、ジョーの間に位置する固定要素を含み得る。ジョーは、固定要素に対して開放構成から閉鎖構成まで独立して移動させられ得る。開放構成は、ジョーの第２の端部が固定要素から離れて位置する構成であり得、閉鎖構成は、ジョーの第２の端部が固定要素と噛合して、ジョーと固定要素との間に組織縁を把持する構成であり得る。【選択図】図１４Ａ
