ABSTRACT:
An instrument is provided for applying ligating clips seriatim and includes first and second handles mounted together for pivotal movement. Each handle extends beyond the pivot axis to form a clip closing jaw. The first handle includes a guideway for receiving a plurality of open clips. A pushing mechanism motivated by a serpentine spring is provided within the first handle to feed the clips to the jaw region. One of the jaws includes a lip for preventing discharge of the open front clip from the instrument. A mechanism is provided for at least temporarily maintaining the spring in a compressed position to permit loading of the instrument with clips and to permit transport and storage of the instrument without the feeding force acting on the clips.
