Methods and apparatus for clipping tissue

A system for clipping tissue includes a clip (106) having first (110) and second (112) jaws. Each of the first and second jaws defines an opening (114) through which a control wire (104) passes. A collapsible member (116) is coupled between the first and second jaws. The member is biased to urge the first and second jaws away from one another along an axis of the control wire to a first expanded configuration. The first and second jaws are movable against the bias of the member via the control wire to a second contracted configuration in which the first and second jaws are moved along the axis of the control wire toward one another to lockingly engage tissue received therebetween. The movement of control wire causes a corresponding movement of the first jaw relative to the second jaw to move the first and second jaws from the first expanded configuration to the second contracted configuration. 本发明涉及种用于夹钳组织的系统，包括具有第卡爪(110)和第二卡爪(112)的夹钳(106)。第卡爪和第二卡爪各界定了控制线(104)穿过的开口(114)。可折叠构件(116)联接于第卡爪和第二卡爪之间。所述构件偏置以迫使第卡爪和第二
