Abstract: A surgical clip formed from a continuous, resilient member and having a coil spring and two arms supporting clamping jaws. The coil spring forces the clamping jaws together. One arm has a guide section, through which the guided element of the second arm extends, to guide and restrict movement of the second arm, thereby correctly engaging the clamping jaws.

Abstract: An improved cerebral aneurysm clip fabricated from titanium or titanium alloys and utilizing a guide member consisting of a straight wire-like bridging guide secured across a U-shaped bend formed in one or both of the two cross arms of the aneurysm clip. The aneurysm clip is fabricated from a single, elongated resilient member of titanium or titanium alloy coiled at an intermediate portion to form a coil spring for normally urging the clamping arms of the clip together in a resilient manner. The clip further consists of two forearm sections extending outwardly and away from the coil spring in the direction of the clamping arms of the clip with the forearm sections terminating in inwardly bent first elbow portions that support respective cross arm sections.
