Abstract: A ligation clip with a hinge connecting a first leg to a second leg; a hook to allow the first leg and the second leg from the ligation clip in the first open position to become engaged to hold the ligation clip in a closed position with an inner side of the first leg facing the inner side of the second leg. The ligation clip having at least one tissue trap near the inner side of the first leg. The tissue trap having at least one tissue plow. The ligation clip in an initial position after closure upon a vessel resists movement along the vessel as the at least one tissue plow drives tissue into the at least one tissue trap so that trapped tissue resists further movement of the ligation clip away from the initial position after closure of the ligation clip.
