Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to the general art of surgery, and to the particular field of ligating tissue targets. A surgical loop delivery device is disclosed in parent disclosures Ser. No. 09/071,811 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,766,217. This device is improved to permit tissue targets larger than the device to be ligated while also maintaining a clear sight path between the surgeon and the target. The surgical loop is also stable during the procedure.
