ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip includes a first jaw and a second jaw relatively movable in a first direction between a first relatively proximate position and a second relatively spaced position. The jaws in the second position have a predetermined dimension in the first direction. The clip has an overall maximum dimension in the first direction which is not greater than about the predetermined dimension of the jaws in the second position. A spring under tension is housed in a telescoping barrel and coupled between the first and second jaws for biasing the jaws to the first position.
