Surgical clip and device for applying the clip

A surgical clip for minimally invasive surgery, for clamping off organic tissue, to form a tissue clamp consisting of a first clamping bar corresponding to a second clamping bar, wherein the first clamping bar and the second clamping bar, at their base, on both sides, have shoulders for being guided in grooves of a cartridge, in each instance, and one clamping bar has a continuous holding bore into which a holding pin provided on the other clamping bar engages for clamping off the organic tissue, with force fit and shape fit, wherein

• the first clamping bar (1) is positioned at the distal end of the cartridge (11);
• the second clamping bar (2) can be joined together with the first clamping bar (1), in one plane with the clamping bar (1), in infinitely adjustable manner, with pressure clamping of the tissue;
• the first clamping bar (1) or the second clamping bar (2) possesses a shank (5) at its lower end, which shank, during joining together with the other clamping bar (1;
• 2), in each instance, clamping off the organic tissue, pushes itself, with shape fit, under the shorter other clamping bar (1;
• 2), and thereby gives the tissue clamp significant additional stability;
• a plunger (14) is mounted in the cartridge (11) for displacement of the second clamping bar (2) and for ejection of the tissue clamp, and the cartridge (11) has means for a releasable connection with an applicator at its proximal end;
• the grooves (13;
• 22) are configured to be open toward the distal end of the cartridge (11);
• the first clamping bar (1) and the second clamping bar (2), with the shoulders (6;
• 7), in each instance, consist of a resorbable material.
