1-20. (canceled)
A tissue clipping device, comprising:
- an elongate member;
- and
- a clip detachably coupled to the elongate member, the clip including first and second side clip arms and a middle clip arm, the first side clip arm being movable between an open position in which a distal end of the first side clip arm is separated from the middle clip arm and a closed position in which the distal end of the first side clip arm is drawn toward the middle clip arm to close over tissue received between the first side clip arm and the middle clip arm, the second side clip arm being movable between an open position in which a distal end of the second side clip arm is separated from the middle clip arm and a closed position in which the distal end of the second side clip arm is drawn toward the middle clip arm to close over any tissue received between the second side clip arm and the middle clip arm.

- and
- a connecting member extending through the elongate member to the clip to operate move the first and second side clip arms between the open and closed positions, wherein the clip includes a first locking mechanism for locking the first side clip arm in the closed position.
