RELOADABLE APPLICATOR FOR HEMOSTATIC CLIPS

The present invention discloses a system for treating tissue, comprising a clip assembly including a pair of clip arms, each of the clip arms extending from a proximal end to a distal end, proximal ends of the clip arms received within a channel of a capsule to be moved between a tissue receiving configuration, in which distal ends of the clip arms are separated from one another, and a tissue clipping configuration, in which distal ends of the clip arms are moved toward one another; and a cartridge configured as a storage container defining a space therewithin that is sized and shaped to house the clip assembly, the cartridge including a proximal opening and being configured such that a distal portion of a control member and a catheter may be inserted through the proximal opening to be coupled to the clip arms and the capsule, respectively.
