Abstract
The present embodiments provide systems and methods for deploying at least one clip during a medical procedure. In one embodiment, the system comprises a clip having first and second arms. A locking pin is coupled to the clip and disposed for incremental movement relative to the clip. Further, a tether is coupled to the locking pin, wherein a first tether segment is secured to a distal region of the second arm, and a second tether segment is secured to a distal region of the first arm. In use, proximal retraction of the locking pin causes a proximal retraction of the first and second tether segments to move the clip between open and closed states. Incremental retraction of the locking pin incrementally advances the clip between the open and closed states.
