A surgical clip (10) is provided for ligating or transecting tissue, such as vessels, other tubular ducts, and the like and a surgical clip applier device (100) for delivering and applying the surgical clip (10) to the tissue. The surgical clip can include a spine (12) and opposed arms extending from the spine where the arms (14,16) can define a clamping length (l). In a resting state, the clip can be biased to a closed position such that the ends of each opposed arm (14,16) are disposed in proximity to each other. With such biasing, when applied to a tissue, such as with a surgical clip applier (100), the clip (10) can exert a positive clamping pressure to the tissue along the clamping length to seal the tissue and limit passage of fluids, such as blood, from the tissue. |
