A proximal delivery catheter includes a proximal handle assembly, an elongated catheter body defining a longitudinal axis and extending distally from the proximal handle assembly, and a drive wire movably positioned within the elongated catheter body. A release pin assembly is coupled to a distal end of the drive wire. The release pin assembly including a release pin and a release pin housing positioned outward from the release pin. A shaft spring is positioned outward from the release pin housing. The shaft spring includes an annular portion wherein the release pin housing is configured and adapted to interfere with the annular portion of the shaft spring. A distal clip assembly is removably connected to the distal end of the elongated catheter body. The proximal delivery catheter is configured to transmit linear motion along and torsion about the longitudinal axis to at least a portion of the distal clip assembly.

Devices and methods for applying a hemostatic clip assembly

A device for applying a hemostatic clip assembly includes a proximal delivery catheter having a handle assembly and an elongated catheter body defining a longitudinal axis extending distally from the handle assembly, and a distal clip assembly removably connected to a distal end of the catheter body. The distal clip assembly includes a distal clip housing, a jaw assembly and a jaw adapter yoke. The jaw assembly has a pair of jaw members fixed to the distal clip housing by a first pin oriented orthogonally relative to the longitudinal axis. The jaw adapter yoke is operatively connected to the jaw members. The proximal delivery catheter is configured to transmit linear motion along and torsion about the longitudinal axis to at least a portion of the distal clip assembly. At least one of the jaw members is configured to rotate about the first pin between an open and a closed configuration.
