Abstract
A clipping system includes an adapter mounted on an insertion device and a clip including first and second jaws connected via hinges so that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration and an initial deployed configuration. A deployment member is configured to move the clip distally over and off of the adapter so that, as the clip leaves the adapter, the clip moves from the insertion configuration to the initial deployed configuration. An extending member is releasably coupled to the clip and movably connected to the adapter, and is configured to permit the withdrawal of the adapter away from the clip while the extending member remains coupled to the clip to place the system in a review configuration. The extending member is operable to retract the clip over the adapter, freeing the clip from tissue on which it had been clipped.
