Abstract

See full text

The surgical clip (1) with an approximate C-shaped cross-section has two lateral jaws (10) interconnected by a web (12). The two jaws (10) end in pressure edges (11) which thus define a clamping gap (15). There is a centric recess (13) perpendicular to the direction of the two pressure edges (1) roughly in the middle, passing through the web (12) on the one hand and partly through the two jaws (10) below it. This design makes it possible to stack the surgical clips of the invention and secure them on a storage unit. This makes it possible for the first time to apply surgical clips in rapid sequence by means of a simple fitting device. There are inwardly directed retaining ribs (17) on the inner surfaces (16) of the jaws (10) to position the clips on the storage unit.
