Abstract
A cartridge for holding and dispensing hemostatic clips, comprises a plurality of generally U-shaped hemostatic clips, and a unitary, molded cartridge body having clip-receiving slots with internal clip-supporting posts, and retaining projections in each slot formed on the opposed walls defining the slot. The retaining projections are located adjacent to the top of the post within the slot and extend toward the opposite wall. Each retaining projection has a clip-engaging surface and is tapered so that it gradually increases in thickness, from a narrow bottom portion adjacent the top of the post means to a wider intermediate portion above the narrow bottom portion, so that the clip engaging surface overhangs the post to provide secure retention of the clip in the slot.
