Abstract
A surgical clip for a surgical clip applicator includes at least one pair of clip arms. Each clip arm has a distal end and a proximal end. The two clip arms are connected to each other at the proximal ends of the clip arms and form a clip throat. A tangent angle between a tangent to a neutral fiber of a clip arm and a perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the clip increases over the entire length of the clip arm substantially continuously.
