VASCULAR SUTURING CLIP

摘要

A clip 100 for suturing opposed ends of severed tissue. The clip 100 has a body 102 with a first end terminating in a needle 110 and a second end having an opening 120 thereat. The body 102 may also include a bite portion 108 between the first and second ends applying a biasing force to hold the suturing clip 100 in either a default open or default closed condition, wherein the needle 110 is remote from the opening 120 in the open condition and in proximity to the opening 120 in the closed condition. The body 102 may also include a footpad 114 adjacent the needle 110, wherein the footpad 114 pinches the opposing ends of the severed tissue against the body 102 adjacent to the opening 120 when the clip 100 is in the closed condition. The clips 100 may be applied by a surgical device 700, which is also disclosed.
