See full text

A hemostatic clip is provided for application to body tissue which includes a clip body defining first and second opposed leg portions and a connecting bail portion. The leg portions each have an elongated tissue contacting surface defined thereon. The tissue contacting surface on the first leg portion has a longitudinally extending tongue formed thereon. The tissue contacting surface on the second leg portion has a longitudinally extending groove formed therein. The tongue and groove are asymmetrically disposed with respect to one another such that, upon approximation of the first and second leg portions, the tongue and groove cooperate in such a manner as to securely clamp body tissue therebetween.
