A pair of jaws is pivotably arranged on a distal end of the elongated channel. A displacable cinch is arranged to slide onto and back from the pair of jaws to squeeze the jaws closed and to permit the jaws to bias open, respectively. A loading port is arranged on a proximal end of the handle grip assembly to permit the clip applying device to be loaded with a clip laden cartridge from the proximal end thereof.
