The invention is directed to a suture clip with stop ribs and method for making same. The clip includes a housing having an outer surface, and a pair of jaws extending longitudinally from the housing in an opposing relationshi p to each other. A resilient pad is carried by one of the jaws and defines wit h the outer surface of the housing a shutoff cavity. At least one rib extends longitudinally of the housing and across the cavity to inhibit any undesirab le passage of the suture into the cavity. In another aspect, the surgical clip includes a housing with an inner member and an outer member having a telescoping relationship. A first jaw extends from the inner member outwardl y of the housing and has a first inner surface. A second jaw extends from the outer member outwardly of the housing and has a second inner surface. At lea st one first rib extends from the first inner surface toward the second inner surface, and at least one second rib extends from the second inner surface toward the first inner surface. These ribs have a non-interfering relationsh ip when the jaws are in the closed position. In another aspect, the invention includes a method for making a surgical clip having a housing formed of telescoping members each with an outer surface. First and second opposing ja ws are associated with the telescoping members, one of which is molded with its associated jaw in a first mold. During the first molding step, at least one rib is molded onto the first jaw to extend from the outer surface of the associated member along the first jaw. During the second molding step, a mol d shutoff is seated against the first jaw and the at least one rib to form a mold cavity for a pad that was molded onto the first jaw.
