Abstract: |
A clip for positioning on a blood vessel including clip half-portions pivotally connected by an elongated spring member which urges the clip half-portions to a closed position. Loop portions of the spring extend outwardly from the clip half-portions to receive bosses of a clip-operating tool for urging the clip to open position. The clip can be swung about an axis through the bosses to selected angular positions.
