A multiple clip applicator system for tissue clamping of hemostasis includes clip devices of a train and a flexible sheath. To load the flexible sheath with clip devices, a coupling device is used. A shaft head is positioned on an operating wire in the flexible sheath. A receiving opening is formed in the coupling device, for receiving insertion of the shaft head, for mating by press-fit with the fastening clip device. The shaft head is a selected one of plural shaft heads which are different in a shape according to the plural multiple clip assemblies. The receiving opening is a selected one of plural receiving openings having a shape according to corresponding shapes of the plural shaft heads, and adapted to preventing a second shaft head from entry in a first receiving opening and preventing a first shaft head from entry in a second receiving opening. |
