Abstract
A clip for suturing opposed ends of severed tissue. The clip has a body with a first end terminating in a needle and a second end having an opening thereat. The body may also include a bite portion between the first and second ends applying a biasing force to hold the suturing clip in either a default open or default closed condition, wherein the needle is remote from the opening in the open condition and in proximity to the opening in the closed condition. The body may also include a footpad adjacent the needle, wherein the footpad pinches the opposing ends of the severed tissue against the body adjacent to the opening when the clip is in the closed condition. The clips may be applied by a surgical device, which is also disclosed.
