Clip applicator

An occlusion combination comprising:

• a tissue occlusion clip comprising a first beam and a second beam, the first and second beams oriented to overlap and be parallel to one another in a compressed position, the tissue occlusion clip including a spring mounted to the first and second beams to bias the first and second beams toward the compressed position, the tissue occlusion clip having at least one open end, the tissue occlusion clip further including a fabric tube around the first and second beams and the spring;
• and,
• an endoscopic grasper operatively coupled to a line repositionably coupled to the tissue occlusion clip proximate the spring, the endoscopic grasper configured to facilitate repositioning of the tissue occlusion clip toward an occlusion position where the first and second beams are interposed by tissue, wherein:
• the first beam is hollowed to receive a first portion of the spring;
• the second beam is hollowed to receive a second portion of the spring;
• and,
• the first portion of the spring and the second portion of the spring are interconnected via a U-shaped segment of the spring;
• wherein the endoscopic grasper includes a rigid chassis coupled to the tissue occlusion device via the line;
• wherein the rigid chassis comprises a first retainer bar and a second retainer bar;
• the first retainer bar is oriented to overlap and be parallel to the first beam;
• and, the second retainer bar is oriented to overlap and be parallel to the second beam.
