Single stage hemostasis clipping device

The apparatus according to clam 1, wherein the tension member comprises a wire with the joint comprising a curved portion of the wire received in a corresponding space of the clip, the curved portion straightening when subject to the predetermined load to release the wire from the clip.

A clip delivery apparatus, comprising:

• a flexible member sized for insertion through a working channel of an endoscope to a target site within a body and a capsule releasably coupled to a distal end of the flexible member, in combination with a clip, a proximal end of which is received within the capsule and a tension member extending through the flexible member to a proximal end of the clip;
• and
• a binding member coupling the tension member to the clip, a connection between the binding member and the tension member yielding when subject to a predetermined load and a constraint member maintaining the clip in an unlocked configuration, the constraint member being coupled to the tension member and releasably connected to the clip so that, when the connection between the binding member and the tension member yields, the constraint member releases from the clip allowing the clip to move to a locked configuration in which the clip is locked closed.
