  • Publication number: 20240008878
    Abstract: A clipping system includes a clip, extending and control members and an endcap mounted on an insertion device. A planar body of the clip includes first and second cut-outs defining fingers. The control members slide within extending members to releasably couple to the clip so that movement the control members moves the clip between an insertion configuration, an initial deployed configuration and a review configuration in which the end cap is withdrawn proximally away from the clip to enhance visual observation of the clip. The control member is operable to retract the clip proximally over the end cap toward the insertion configuration so that the fingers are forced open as the clip is retracted over the end cap, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped to reposition the clip if necessary.
