ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip applier includes a clip chamber defined at the distal end of the instrument. A clip chain of at least two clips is provided in the clip chamber. The clip chain is coupled such that both relatively distal and proximal movement of the proximalmost clip of the clip chain within the chamber results in longitudinal translation of clips within the chamber.
