To facilitate the production of a surgical vascular clip having two arms with clamping jaws, the arms being resiliently pressable against each other and meeting at an end section of the clip, and also having a tensioning section adjoining the end section in the direction towards the clamping jaws and being surrounded by a ring displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the tensioning section, it is proposed that the arms with the clamping jaws, the tensioning section and the end section be designed as a one-piece component.

Surgical vascular clip

To enable easier manufacturability of the clamping ring for a surgical clip comprising two arms which are elastically pivotable towards each other and each have one clamping jaw, an end section in which the arms meet, and located therebetween a tensioning section on which the clamping ring surrounding the arms is displaceable in the longitudinal direction, with a part connected to the clamping ring engaging between the arms, it is proposed that the clamping ring carry diametrically opposed projections integrally formed on the clamping ring and protruding inwardly into the area surrounded by the clamping ring.
