ABSTRACT:
An applicator for the manual application of spreadable surgical clips which comprises a clip magazine which releasably retains a plurality of spreadable clips and forms a guideway for the clips, e.g., it may optionally include a pair of spaced-apart, parallel rail members extending throgh the magazine to slidably carry the clips. A spreader at the discharge end of the clip magazine, e.g., a pair of optionally bifurcated, wedge-shaped ramps, serves to receive and spread apart the clips for ejection of the spread-apart clips from the applicator.
Spreadable surgical clips are also provided. The clips may have a front-to-rear taper to clear the discharge end of the applicator. The clips may have front connecting means and rear connecting means to disengageably connect the clips in a train of clips within the applicator. Generally, the clips may comprise a tubular body having a front-to-rear taper and a longitudinally extending clamping slit along the length of the body, to define opposing leg portions.
