Abstract
A surgical clip of branch-crossed design has two Z-shaped clip branches connected to each other at a proximal end of each of the clip branches by a spring-elastic connection piece. Each of the clip branches has a jaw part at a distal section with a gripping surface. In an assembled position of the clip, the clip branches cross and the gripping surfaces are opposite each other and are held in contact on one another by a closing force of the spring-elastic connection piece. At least one first clip branch has a groove in which the second clip branch is held and/or guided, at least in sections, such that a displacement of the clip branches in a transverse direction of the clip branches is prevented.
