<p>A clip for compressing tissue comprises first and second legs, each extending from a distal end to a proximal end in combination with a joint coupled between proximal ends of the first and second legs and biasing the first and second legs into one of a closed configuration in which the first and second legs are separated from one another by a selected clipping distance and an open configuration in which the first and second legs are separated from one another by a tissue receiving distance greater than the clipping distance. The first and second legs are shaped so that, when in the closed configuration with no tissue received therebetween, a distance between the first and second legs is substantially constant from the joint to the distal ends of the first and second legs.</p> |
