A system includes a clip having a pair of clip arms, proximal ends of the clip arms received within a channel of a capsule to be moved between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A proximal end of the capsule including a plurality of connecting elements extending proximally therefrom. Each of the connecting elements including a hook along a proximal portion thereof. An applicator includes an elongated flexible member and a control member extending therethrough, the control member configured to be connected to the clip arms to move the clip assembly between the open and closed configurations, the elongated flexible member including a bushing including a first ramped portion and a necked portion extending proximally from the first ramped portion, a proximal end of the first ramped portion including a lip configured to engage the hook when the connecting elements are crimped thereover.

Crimp attachment of clip for reloadable hemostasis device

A clipping system includes a clip having a pair of clip arms, proximal ends of the clip arms slidably received within a channel of a capsule to be moved between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A proximal end of the capsule including connecting tabs extending proximally therefrom. An applicator includes an elongated flexible member and a control member extending therethrough. The control member includes a distal end connected to the clip arms to move the clip assembly between the open and closed configurations. A distal end of the elongated flexible member includes a bushing including a first ramped surface, along which the connecting tabs slide along to engage a corresponding engaging feature of the bushing, and a second ramped surface proximal of the first ramped surface, the connecting tabs slidable along the second ramped surface to plastically deform toward a deployed configuration.

Reloadable clip with a flaring capsule deformation

A clipping system for treating tissue a clip with clip arms and an applicator having a flexible member and a control member. Proximal ends of the arms are received within a channel of a capsule. The capsule includes a slot extending from a proximal end of the capsule through a wall thereof. The control member includes a distal end connectable to the arms to move them between the open and closed configurations. A distal end of the flexible member includes a bushing having a distal portion receivable within a proximal end of the capsule. The distal portion includes an engaging tab extending laterally outward therefrom receivable within an engaging portion of the slot, a spring extending along the distal portion and disposed proximally of the engaging tab so that, when the engaging tab is received within the engaging portion, the spring is compressed against a portion of the capsule.
