Abstract
A clip applier may be configured to apply a surgical clip and have a pair of jaw members. Each of the jaw members may have an inner surface and a stabilizing member extending from the inner surface. Each of the jaw members may be configured to engage a distal portion of a leg member of the surgical clip. The stabilizing members may be configured to be positioned on opposite lateral sides of a proximal portion of the surgical clip to reduce lateral movement of the surgical clip. An inner portion of each of the stabilizing members may be spaced apart from the opposing jaw member in an open configuration, and each of the jaw members may have a channel on the inner surface to receive the opposing stabilizing member in a closed configuration.
