ABSTRACT:
A hemostatic clip which permits selection of the clamping pressure applied by the clip to tissue is of single piece plastic construction and C-shaped configuration. A transversely extending region of reduced thickness at the center of the mid-portion of the clip defines the hinge axis of the clip. Cooperating latching members extend from the mid-portion on opposite sides of the reduced thickness region. A dispenser for the clips has a magazine for storing a series of clips, a dispensing mechanism for advancing clips from the magazine, and an applicator tip receiving the advanced clip and having adjustably spaced plates for determining the degree to which the clip is closed.
