<p>The figure is an end view of the endoclip of this invention, generally designated with numeral (10). The endoclip is formed of a thin metallic unitary member generally of an elliptical cross section. Because of its biocompatibility, titanium is the preferred metal. The endoclip (10) has a lower straight base (12) which terminates at one end (14) in an upwardly and rearwardly extending section (16), which itself terminates in a lower free-end (18). A corner (20) is formed where section (16) turns rearwardly. The endoclip (10) has an upper forwardly extending arm (22) terminating in an upper free-end (24) which is spaced rearwardly from said lower free-end (18). The base (12) and upper arm (22) are connected by an upwardly and forwardly extending section (26). A nubbin (28) is formed on the inner surface (30) of base (12).</p> |
