Abstract: An apparatus is described for dispensing a surgical clip 1 of memory metal, the clip being of the kind having a central portion 2 defining a plane and a pair of limbs 3, 4 extending from opposite sides of the central portion, one 3 of the pair of limbs having a free end disposed forward, and above the plane, of the central portion 2 and the other 4 of the pair of limbs having a free end disposed forward, and below the plane, of the central portion 2. The apparatus comprises an inner shaft 27 in which the clip 1 can be mounted and an outer movable member 25 for displacing the clip along the longitudinal axis of the inner shaft 27.

Abstract: A surgical clip for occluding a vein, artery or other body passageway (2) comprises a base portion (3), a pair of resilient limbs (4a, 4b) configured to extend generally laterally outwardly from the base portion and each having a free end disposed forward of the base portion, and a reaction portion (9a/b) mounted to the base portion (3), the reaction portion defining a generally forwardly directed reaction surface (10) disposed between the base portion (3) and the free ends of the limbs (4a, 4b), the being movable under a resilient restoring force from a first, open, condition, in which a gap is provided between the limbs and the reaction portion for receiving the body passageway into the clip, to a second, closed, condition, in which the limbs cooperate with the reaction portion to grip the body passageway to occlude the same.
