ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip has a resilient pad in a recess in one face and a hinged tongue on the other face, which face preferably presents no acute edge. The provision of a pad on only one face is found to produce a surprising improvement in effectiveness of the clip. In addition, the pad may be thicker and may be placed in a recess in one jaw, which can simplify manufacture while reducing the overall size of the clip.
