Abstract
A clip applier having a handle at a proximal portion, an elongated portion extending distally of the handle, a jaw mechanism including a pair of jaws movable to a closed position to crimp a clip held therein, a clip feeder mechanism movable in proximal and distal directions, a camming mechanism and a puller mechanism movable in proximal and distal directions. The puller mechanism is operatively connected to the handle such that actuation of the handle a) moves the puller mechanism a first distance in the proximal direction; and b) moves the clip feeder mechanism a second distance greater than the first distance.
