CONVERTED ANEURISM CLIP

A surgical clip includes two clip branches which are spring-elastically joined and pretensioned at proximal ends by a first spring element which can be rotated about a spring pivot point formed by the first spring element. The distal free ends of the clip branches are held in parallel against one an...

More Information
Summary:A surgical clip includes two clip branches which are spring-elastically joined and pretensioned at proximal ends by a first spring element which can be rotated about a spring pivot point formed by the first spring element. The distal free ends of the clip branches are held in parallel against one another in a resting position of the surgical clip via the closing force of the first spring element. The surgical clip has a conversion device which reduces a ratio of opening force, applied to a force-guiding path for opening the clip branches, to opening angle, from a predetermined opening angle of the distal free ends of the two clip branches. A method for opening the clip includes the step of applying pressure to the clip branches on a force-guiding path formed between crossing portions and the first spring element.
