ABSTRACT:
A polymeric, surgical clip having first and second curved leg members joined at their proximal end by a hinge portion and movable from an open position to a closed position for clamping a vessel between curved deposing inner surfaces which are substantially parallel when the clip is closed. The first leg terminates at its distal end in a deflectable hook member defining a crest or cutting edge along at least a portion of the outer surface thereof, and the second leg member terminates in a locking portion complimentary to the hook member such that when the first and second leg members are moved from an open position to a closed position about the hinge means the hook member will deflect about the distal end of the second leg member to lock the clip in a closed position. The deflection of the hook member will serve to cut connective tissue adjacent a vessel or the like to be clamped when the leg members are closed to aid in locking the clip in the closed position about the vessel or the like to which the surgical clip is applied.
