Zusammenfassung:A surgical clip system (10) which includes a surgical clip having a first cl ip portion including a first length of material having a closed geometrical shape having a first surface, the shape having a central axis therethrough and having a central opening therein; a pair of support portions (40) associated with the first clip portion (14); a second clip (34); including a second length of material having a closed geometrical shape having a second surface of substantially the same configuration and size as that of the first clip portion. Upon heating of the clip to at least the first temperature, th e pair of fastening elements returns to the position such that they abut the support portions, thereby pressing against the pair of support portions, thereby pressing the first and second lengths of material towards each other, thereby to apply a compressive force to tissue located between the first and second lengths of material.
