A tissue clip, comprising:
- an arm having a first electrode and a proximal end portion;
- a body having a proximal end portion pivotally coupled at the proximal end portion of the arm such that the arm is moveable from a first position relative to the body for approximating tissue and a second position closer to the body for grasping tissue therebetween, the body including:
- a housing;
- a power source disposed within the housing of the body;
- and
- a second electrode coupled to the power source;
