A clip and applicator for clamping a fallopian tube, and a method of carrying out the procedure. The clip has pivoting jaws which are adapted to pivot between a first open position where the jaws are apart, a second substantially closed position, and a third closed and locked position. The clip has means to bias the jaws towards the open position. Complementary locking means at the forward end of each jaw secure and lock the clip. The applicator comprises an elongate body over which a sleeve axially slides. The sleeve is adapted to move the jaws into the substantially closed position for insertion of the clip through the incision, and then to the closed and locked position to occlude the fallopian tube. The clip is removably attached to the applicator by docking means adapted to secure the forward end of the applicator body to the rear end of the clip.
