A polymeric, surgical clip (10) having first and second curved leg members (12, 14) joined at their proximal end by a reduced thickness hinge portion (16) and movable from an open position to a closed position for clamping a vessel between curved opposing inner surfaces (20, 24) which are substantially parallel when the clip (10) is closed. The first leg member (12) has a concave inner surface (20) and a hook portion (22) at its distal end curved toward the second leg member (14). A ligating clip applying instrument for applying the clip (10) has a pair of handles pivoted about a hinge point and extends beyond the hinge point to form a pair of clip closing jaws equipped with means for engaging bosses located on the sides of the first and second leg members (12, 14). |
