ABSTRACT:
A surgical clip with advantageous closure characteristics is disclosed which includes a bail portion having first and second back portions joined at an apex, and rectilinear leg portions extending from the back portions. The apex is preferably characterized by an angle of no more than about 100.degree.. Preferably the outer surface of at least one back portion includes a compression ridge to concentrate the compression force applied by the jaws of the applying instrument to a preselected region of the clip. The legs retain their parallelism while the clip is being closed. Additional features include interlocking ridges and/or projections on one of the legs which engage corresponding recesses on the other leg to enhance clip retention on tissue and to help minimize twisting and/or scissoring of the clip legs during closure.
