ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip applicator system for receiving a clip from a clip holder and for compressively applying the clip to a body vessel or tissue comprises a stationary front jaw member, a rotatable rear jaw member, and rear jaw member actuator. The stationary front jaw member includes a rear facing grooved surface and a rear facing depressed notch above the grooved surface which further includes a rearward projection along the upper part of the notch. The rotatable rear jaw member includes a front facing grooved surface, a front facing depressed notch above the grooved surface which further includes a frontward projection along the upper part of the notch, a first location wherein the actuator is rotatably connected to the rear jaw member, and a second location wherein the rear jaw member is rotatably connected to the front jaw member. The V-shaped open clip is manually snapped onto the clip holder and is thereafter snapped onto the front and rear facing grooved surfaces of the surgical clip applicator for preventing lateral motion of the open clip and wherein the frontward and rearward projections prevent upward movement of the open clip. The actuator causes forward rotation of the rear jaw member onto the jaw member thereby compressing the clip onto the vessel or tissue. The actuating member includes spring means to cause separation of the jaw members to release the compressed clip around the vessel or tissue from the surgical clip applicator.
