ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip applying device having a main body, a clip magazine coupled to the exterior of the main body for holding a plurality of clips, clip deforming jaws coupled to the main body for receiving and deforming clips, a clip feed blade for moving clips from the clip magazine to the deforming jaws, and a spring activated actuating mechanism. The actuating mechanism includes handle portions, a ratchet member connected to the handle portions, a spring connected to the main body and the ratchet member, along with a latch adapted to engage the ratchet member. By movement of one of the handle portions with respect to the other handle portion energy is stored in the spring and retained therein via engagement of the latch with the ratchet member. In operation, a slight movement of one of the handle portions with respect to the other handle portion disengages the latch from the ratchet member so that the energy stored in the spring is converted into rapid forward movement of the clip feed blade. This forward movement causes the clip feed blade to slide through the magazine and rapidly place a clip in the deforming jaws.
