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.
