A surgical clip may include: a first leg member having an inner surface, an outer surface, and first and second side surfaces, the inner surface of the first leg member having a concave curvature; a second leg member having an inner surface, an outer surface, and first and second side surfaces, the inner surface of the second leg member having a convex curvature; at least one first tooth extending from a first lateral side of the inner surface of the second leg member; and a first channel defined between the first side surface and the inner surface of the first leg member. The first and second leg members may be configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and in the closed configuration, the at least one first tooth is received in the first channel.

Surgical clip

A surgical clip may be configured to ligate tissue. The surgical clip may include first and second leg members. The first leg member may have a proximal portion, a distal portion, a convex first inner surface, and a convex first outer surface. The first leg member may also include an inner portion at least partially defining the first inner surface and an outer portion at least partially defining the first outer surface. The inner and outer portions may be joined at first and second portions of the first leg member and separated by a channel. The second leg member may include a proximal portion, a distal portion, a second inner surface, and a second outer surface. The first and second leg members may be movable relative to each other between open and closed configurations, and the first and second inner surfaces may be configured to ligate the tissue when in the closed configuration.

Surgical ligation clip

A surgical clip may include a wire body having first and second free end portions. The surgical clip may also include first and second leg members connected by a hinge portion. The first leg member may include first and second segments of the wire body, the first segment may be spaced from the second segment, and the first and second free end portions may be disposed on a distal end portion of the first leg member. The second leg member may include third and fourth segments of the wire body, the third segment being spaced from the fourth segment. The hinge portion may join proximal end portions of the first and second leg members. The surgical clip may be movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein the second leg member is received between the first and second free end portions on the first leg member, and the first and second leg members pivot about the hinge portion to move the surgical clip between the open configuration and the closed configuration.

Latching wire clip

A narrow profile surgical ligation clip has two legs with clamping surfaces joined by a hinge near the proximal ends, allowing the clip to reversibly open and close. A locking mechanism is proximal to the hinge to bias or lock the clip closed, including first and second jaw structures spaced on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis of the clip thereby defining a locking space therebetween. In one embodiment, a wedge or buttress body moves by application of an external force applied to a proximal end of the clip towards the hinge to move into the locking space such that one or more outer surfaces or projections of portions of the body fit into or abut against complementary surfaces or other parts of the locking mechanism or clip assembly to bias or lock the clip in a closed position and provide additional closing force to the inner clamping surfaces.

An applier for ligation clip is provided. The applier includes: an outer tube having mounting bosses; a pair of jaws pivotally connected to the mounting bosses, the jaws having actuating projections; a feed tube located in the outer tube and configured to move axially within the outer tube, the feed tube having actuating slots in which the actuating projections are located; a clip lock arm located in the outer tube and configured to move axially within the outer tube; and a clip advance arm located in the outer tube and configured to move axially within the outer tube, the clip advance arm having flexible pinchers at one end of the clip advance arm. A method of applying a ligation clip is also disclosed.

A cap for use in priming a medical connector that has a distal end at which is disposed a distal connection tip with an aperture through which fluid may flow, and the connector having an internal valve. The cap has a reservoir device with an internal volume and a first opening at a proximal end that is connected with the aperture of the connection tip. The reservoir has a second opening at which is disposed an hydrophobic filter for allowing gases to vent to the atmosphere while retaining liquid in the reservoir device. Over the reservoir device is mounted a slidable housing device used to activate the internal valve of the connector to a flow configuration at which fluid flows from the connector into the reservoir device. The user monitors the reservoir device and when gas has been vented so that only liquid remains, the user slides the housing device.

A device for hand-carrying articles in cooperation with a string, strap, shoelace or the like includes a grip element for grasping of the device by a user. Support elements extend upwardly from opposed ends of the grip element, and arm elements are connected at proximal ends thereof to the support elements. Each of the arm elements defines a distal end, and the arm elements extend inwardly toward each other from the support elements with the distal ends positioned in closely spaced apart relationship with each other to form a gap therebetween. The arm elements are configured for enabling movement of the arm elements relative to each other to vary the size of the gap, and gripping elements are provided on the distal ends of the arm elements for enabling a string, strap, shoelace or the like to be tightly gripped and held in position in the gap between the arm elements.
