Abstract
The surgical instrument comprises a single housing having a barrel and handle. The barrel contains jaws to maintain a hemostatic clip, and a jaw wedge. When actuated by the jaw wedge, the jaws operate in a 'scissors action' to compress the hemostatic clip onto the vessel. The barrel portion also contains a feed bar and magazine tape. The magazine tape contains a plurality of hemostatic clips. On retraction, the jaw wedge coordinates with the feed bar and magazine tape to deliver a new clip to the jaws. The jaw wedge is actuated by a trigger pivotally mounted to the handle.
