Abstract

A ligating apparatus includes a first ligating member having an insertion portion to be inserted into a living body, and a holding member with a substantially C-shaped, unclosed loop portion having a gap section therein. The loop portion is capable of holding at least one of a litigation thread for forming a knot and a needle. A second ligating member has a manipulating device capable of holding at least one of the needle and an end portion of the ligation thread, and capable of being passed through the loop portion. When the loop portion holds the ligation thread and the manipulating device holds the end portion of the ligation thread, the second ligating member is cooperable with the first ligating member to form a knot in the ligation thread by passing the manipulating device through a knot forming loop defined by the ligation thread and the loop portion.
