Abstract

A torsional ligation clip apllier (10) and method for use for endoscopic or laparoscopic vessel occlusion procedures is provided. The ligation clip includes a hub portion (16,18) and ligation arms (24, 26) for occluding a vessel. Ligation arms are independently rotatable about a common axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ligation arms. The ligation arms are biased in a first position by a biasing mechanism. The ligation arms of the clip are rotatable through at least one of a plurality of positions wherein it has a larger diameter than an access device. An applier receives at least one ligating clip in a first position and delivers the ligating clip to a vessel in a second position. Occlusion of the vessel occurs when one of the ligation arms is rotated into a third position.
