The surgical clip includes a U or a V shaped body having clip legs extending from its apex and terminal ends having a lateral span extending outboard from the clip. The terminal ends are shaped as triangles, ovals, a T, oblong or a wide end hexagonal shape. Sometimes, the terminal ends define outboard directed hooks. The clip's inboard surface may have gripping grooves. A clip applicator includes clip carrying jaws pivotally coupled and forming a mouth. Keyways capture clip ends. If the clip is hooked, the jaws define complementary latch openings. A system for closing the clip jaws may be linked scissor-like members, cam actuators and followers or cam follower surfaces. The clip applier may include tactile response indicators for the user to indicate partial or full jaw closure and full open-clip release positions.
