ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip applying instrument is disclosed which includes a handle portion, a body extending distally from the handle portion and defining a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of surgical clips disposed within the body. A jaw assembly is mounted adjacent a distal end portion of the body. The jaw assembly includes first and second jaw portions movable between a spaced-apart and an approximated position. A clip pusher is provided to individually distally advance a distalmost surgical clip to the jaw assembly while the jaw portions are in the spaced-apart position. An actuator at least partially disposed within the body is longitudinally movable in response to actuation of the handle portion. A jaw closure member is positioned adjacent the first and second jaw portions to move the jaw portions to the approximated position. The actuator and the jaw closure member define an interlock therebetween to produce simultaneous movement of the actuator and the jaw closure member when the actuator is positioned adjacent the distal end portion of the body.
