Embodiment Construction

[0024] The invention will now be elucidated with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout. In accordance with conventional practice, as used herein, the term "proximal portion" refers to a specific portion of a device or its components that is generally closer to the medical personnel who handles or manipulates the device as it is used, while the term "distal portion" refers to the device or its components. A specific portion of a component as opposed to a proximal portion, unless otherwise specified herein.

[0025] The present invention generally relates to clip appliers configured to increase the stability of surgical clips during medical procedures. The clip applier may include a clip applier having a first jaw member and a second jaw member, the stabilizing member being disposed on at least one of the jaw members. The stabilizing member and the pair of jaw members can provide at least three points of contact with the cl...

Abstract

The invention relates to a clip applier that may be configured to apply a surgical clip to tissue. The clip applier may include a first jaw member configured to engage a distal portion of a first legmember of the surgical clip, and a second jaw member configured to engage a distal portion of a second leg member of the surgical clip. The clip applier may further include a stabilizing member on thefirst jaw member. The stabilizing member may have a cavity configured to receive a proximal portion of the surgical clip and to reduce lateral movement of the surgical clip. The clip applier may notproximally abut the surgical clip when the first and second jaw members are in an open configuration. The second jaw member may also have a longitudinal channel configured to receive the stabilizing member when the first and second jaw members are in a closed configuration.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 474,544, filed March 21, 2017, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to clip appliers, and more particularly to clip appliers having stabilizing members. Background technique [0004] Ligation of tissue (eg, blood vessels, lymph nodes, nerves, fallopian tubes, and cardiac tissue) is routine in many surgical procedures. This is done by closing the blood vessel with surgical clips or suturing the blood vessel with surgical sutures. The use of surgical sutures requires complex manipulation of the needle and surgical suture to form the knots needed to secure the blood vessel. Such complex procedures are time consuming and difficult to perform, especially in endoscopic surgery characterized by limited space and / or visibility. In contrast, surgical clips are relatively quicker and easier...
