Abstract
A ligation clip(10) includes a hinge portion(300) having a flexible insert assembly(400) embedded in a body portion of the hinge portion(300). The flexible insert assembly(400) includes inserts(402, 404, 406) that are formed of a material that is more flexible than a material forming the body portion of the hinge portion(300). In this manner, plastic deformation in the hinge portion(300) of the ligation clip(10) is reduced or eliminated.
