A flexible endoscopic clip applier includes a flexible coil with a manual
actuator coupled to one end and a jaw assembly coupled to the other end.
A store of clips is arranged adjacent to the jaw assembly and a clip
pusher is arranged adjacent to the store of clips. The actuator includes
a lever for opening and closing the jaws, a knob for rotating the jaw
assembly, and a crank for dispensing clips. The knob and the lever are
coupled to a single control member which extends through the coil to a
joiner where it is joined to a pair of pull wires coupled to the jaws.
The crank is coupled to a second control member which is threaded along a
distal portion. The threaded portion engages a threaded member near the
pusher and is coupled to the pusher such that rotation of the threaded
control member by the crank causes the pusher to be moved distally.
