Abstract
An aneurysm clip (1) is provided with two arms (2, 3) which are resiliently pivotable towards each other and carry at their free end clamping bars (12, 13) which are resiliently clamped against each other by the spring force of the arms, with outwardly curved sections of the arms adjoining the clamping bars and jointly forming a receiving space (10) for a vessel (11). In order to improve the safety of the application and the possibility of varying the application of the aneurysm clip, the clamping bars protrude from the arms towards both sides and thereby project laterally on both sides over the width of the arms in the outwardly curved sections.
