Abstract: A modular clip cartridge includes a body portion having a first wall and a second wall. The first wall defines a first protuberance, a second protuberance symmetrically opposed to the first protuberance, and a first mating feature disposed between the first and second protuberances. The second wall defines a first recess, a second recess symmetrically opposed to the first recess, and a second mating feature disposed between the first and second recesses. At least one clip compartment is defined in the body portion and configured to releasably retain at least one surgical clip therein. One of the first and second mating features of the modular clip cartridge is configured to selectively engage one of a first and a second mating feature of another modular clip cartridge to selectively connect the first modular clip cartridge and another modular clip cartridge into a unitary arrangement to define a modular surgical clip pack.

Abstract: A surgical clip includes first and second members. The first member includes a first wall and a second wall each defining a proximal curved portion. A base portion adjoins the first wall and the second wall and defines a locking feature. The second member is pivotably connected to the first member between the first and second walls. The second member includes a mating feature and defines a proximal curved portion. The mating feature of the second member is configured to selectively engage the locking feature of the first member to lock the first and second members into an approximated position. Movement of the proximal curved portions of the respective first and second members towards each other causes the mating feature of the second member to disengage from the locking feature of the first member to move the first and second members from the approximated position into an unapproximated position.

Abstract: A counter assembly is supported in a handle assembly of a clip applier. The counter assembly includes a counting mechanism, a ratchet mechanism, and an actuator. The counting mechanism is positioned to rotate within the handle assembly and includes indicia visible through the handle assembly. The ratchet mechanism is rotationally coupled to the counting mechanism and prohibits multidirectional rotation of the counting mechanism. The actuator includes a protrusion projecting therefrom. The actuator is positioned to translate between a proximal position and a distal position, wherein the protrusion of the actuator engages the counting mechanism to rotate the counting mechanism, in a first direction, to adjust the indicia of the counting mechanism, which is visible through the handle assembly. In the proximal position, the protrusion of the actuator is disposed proximal of the counting mechanism. In the distal position, the protrusion of the actuator is disposed distal of the counting mechanism.
