Abstract
A surgical ligation clip includes a first jaw, a second jaw, and a hinge portion that pivotably couples the first jaw to the second jaw. The first and second jaws define respective clamping surfaces and include spaced bosses. Each of the spaced bosses include a transverse portion and a head portion that is oversized and has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the transverse portions. The oversized head portions allow for the ligation clips to be securely supported on a clip applicator.
