Abstract: The invention relates to a medical compression clip (1) capable of imparting compression to two bone fractions and/or to biological tissues, the clip comprising at least two legs (2, 3) extending from a transverse bridge, at least one leg (2) occupying a naturally converging position directed towards the other leg (3), the converging leg (2) being capable of being subjected to temporary elastic deformation and of returning naturally to its converging position, the clip being provided with deformation means enabling a force opposing convergence to be exerted on said at least one converging leg (2, 3) by means of an external tool, the deformation means being formed by a reception member for receiving the external tool, the clip (1) being characterized in that the reception member is arranged within the transverse bridge in such a manner that the external tool can bear against and along said converging leg (2, 3). Medical clips.
