Luminal clip applicator with sensor

A luminal clip application system for occluding a body lumen, comprising:

• a. a first elongated pressure applying member which has a proximal handle portion and a distal jaw portion having a luminal clip receiving surface, which has a pivot point proximal to the distal jaw portion;
• b. a second elongated pressure applying member which has a proximal handle portion and a distal jaw portion having a luminal clip receiving surface and which is pivotally secured to the pivot point of the first elongated pressure applying member at a location proximal to the distal jaw portion;
• c. a sensor disposed on the distal jaw portion of the first elongated pressure applying member and configured for sensing a body lumen;
• d. an energy transmission element which has a distal end connected to the body lumen sensor and a proximal end configured to be operatively connected to a sensor controller;
• and
• e. a body lumen occluding clip disposed between and releasably secured by the clip receiving surfaces of the distal jaw portions of the first and second elongated pressure applying members.

A body lumen occlusion system comprising:

• a. a first elongated pressure applying member which has a proximal handle portion and a distal jaw portion having a luminal clip receiving surface, which is pivotally mounted to a support member at a pivot point proximal to the distal jaw portion;
• b. a sensor disposed on the distal jaw portion of the first elongated pressure applying member and configured for sensing a body lumen;
• c. a sensor controller;
• and
• d. an energy transmission element which has a distal end connected to the body lumen sensor and a proximal end operatively connected to the sensor controller.
