ABSTRACT:
A surgical ring clip (10) for ligating linear organ structures is provided by a solid ring (12) of a non-tissue reactive elastic material, having a central lumen (14). A plurality of pins (18) or teeth (28) are partially embedded within the elastic ring (12) with their exposed ends forming a pair of diametrically opposite files extending across and obstructing the lumen in an interleaved or meshed array when the ring is in its relaxed state. When released around a loop of a linear organ structure drawn through the lumen (14), the pins (18) or teeth (28) protrude through the loop, grasping any intermediate membrane and obstructing passage of the loop through the lumen (14), thereby preventing the ring clip (10) from slipping over the knuckle of the loop.
