A clip applier is provided for applying a surgical clip to tissue. The clip applier may include a first jaw member that engages a first distal portion of the surgical clip, and a second jaw member that engages a second distal portion of the surgical clip. The first and second jaw members move relative to each other between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A first longitudinal channel extends through a first inner portion of the first jaw member and separates the first jaw member into a pair of first extensions. A first stabilizing member has a first distal end portion fixedly secured to the first jaw member inside of the first longitudinal channel, and a first proximal end portion that engages a first proximal portion the surgical clip to reduce movement of the surgical clip.
