Abstract

To facilitate the production of a surgical vascular clip having two arms with clamping jaws, the arms being resiliently pressable against each other and meeting at an end section of the clip, and also having a tensioning section adjoining the end section in the direction towards the clamping jaws and being surrounded by a ring displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the tensioning section, it is proposed that the arms with the clamping jaws, the tensioning section and the end section be designed as a one-piece component.
