Abstract
A medical clip that includes a pair of longitudinally extending legs that each have a tissue piercing distal end, and an interconnecting span section that connects proximal ends of the respective pair of longitudinally extending legs. The pair of longitudinally extending legs are disposed about a longitudinal axis; and further including a carrier element for supporting a radio-active source. The interconnecting span section is in the form of a platform having an elongated support surface along which the carrier element extends. The elongated support surface of the platform extends substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis defined between the pair of longitudinally extending legs.

A medical clip comprising:
- a pair of longitudinally extending legs that each have a tissue piercing distal end;
- an interconnecting span section that connects proximal ends of the respective pair of longitudinally extending legs;
- the pair of longitudinally extending legs disposed about a longitudinal axis;
- a carrier element for supporting a radio-active source;
- said interconnecting span section comprising a platform having an elongated support surface along which the carrier element extends;
- the elongated support surface of the platform extending orthogonal to the longitudinal axis defined between the pair of longitudinally extending legs;
- the platform having opposed ends and opposed sides that extend orthogonal to the opposed ends;
- a pair of retention tabs that are disposed respectively at opposed ends of the platform and that are each in the form of an upright tab wall for respectively holding opposed ends of the carrier element;
- the pair of longitudinally extending legs extending from one of the opposed sides of the platform;
- and
- at least one securing arm extending from the other of the opposed sides of the platform.

- the pair of longitudinally extending legs extending from one of the opposed sides of the platform;
- and
- at least one securing arm extending from the other of the opposed sides of the platform.
