Abstract

An applicator capable of operating a clip unit including a first link, a medical apparatus including the applicator and the clip unit, and a method for operating the medical apparatus are disclosed. The applicator includes: a second link capable of engaging with the first link; an operation wire; a sheath capable of accommodating the second link; a slider that is connected to the operation wire and can be operated to move the second link; and a knob. In a state where the slider is in an advanced-most position, the knob can be operated to adjust the length of the wire extending from the slider to the second link between: a first length at which the second link protrudes from the sheath, and a second length that is shorter than the first length, and at which the second link is inside the sheath.
