ABSTRACT:
A disposable clip which finds application in the temporary occlusion of blood vessels, bowels, ducts, and so forth, consumes a small volume within an operative field during use, and may be removed without the need for highly specialized tools. In terms of construction, a pair of substantially rigid, spaced-apart members are joined by way of a malleable hinge. Each member includes an inwardly oriented surface which oppose and face one another and outwardly oriented surfaces which face away from one another. A layer of compressible material is supported against the inwardly oriented surface of each member and, with an externally applied pressure exerted upon the outwardly oriented surfaces, the pair of rigid members are urged toward one another, thereby compressing and at least temporarily occluding the vessel between the layers of compressible material, with the malleable hinge maintaining the clip in this configuration until removal. Means are further provided enabling the members and layers of compressible material to separate from one another through the application of an externally applied removal force.
