An integral surgical device for ligating a selected section of a blood vessel or the like and then dividing the section comprising a resilient, flexible holder (13) having a first portion (14) foldable on to a second portion (17). A pair of foldable surgical clips (11, 12) is spaced apart in said holder but not permanently attached. Blade (15) is attached to the first holder portion between the clips. Pressing said first and second holder portions together on a section of a blood vessel or the like, causes each clip to clamp on to said blood vessel and then the blade to divide said blood vessel. When pressure is released on said holder, the holder and blade is retracted from said blood vessel leaving the clips in ligated position on the vessel. |
