Abstract

See full text

Jaw blades for use in surgical clip appliers are disclosed. The jaw blades include a first leg and a second leg, each leg having a jaw integrally connected thereto and at least one inter-leg engaging member that extends from one of the first and second legs and is engageable with the other of the first and second legs. When the at least one inter-leg engaging member is engaged with the other of the first and second legs, a displacement in a first direction of one of the first and second legs causes a first corresponding displacement in the first direction of the other of the first and second legs, and such that a displacement in a second direction, opposite the first direction, of the one of the first and second legs causes a second corresponding displacement in the second direction of the other of the first and second legs.
