PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surgical clip which is retained as it is in a fixed state to tissue when the clip is once attached to the tissue. SOLUTION: A clip includes a generally U-shaped configuration with first and second parallel arms parallel and a bridge connecting the arms. At least one resilient retainer extends rearward and from at least one of the arms and toward the other arm. During application, the clip is forced over compressed tissue. As the clip is forced over the tissue and the tissue enters the space between the arms, the retainer are bent by the tissue. The retainer is preferably resilient, but can alternatively be plastically deformable. The clip is also provided with structures that facilitates the chaining of a plurality of clips for use in a clip chamber of a clip applier. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
