Abstract

The invention is directed to a medical device (20) for endoscopically ligating and cutting a body vessel. The device (20) may be percutaneously inserted into a patient to perform several possible procedures. The improvements to the device (20) include a hinged jaw (24) actuated by handle (32) with trigger (36) capable of grasping and crimping body vessels. An improved clip delivery system and an improved clip (28) which ligate vessels are also described. The instrument includes a rotating cutting member (86) which provides more efficient body vessel cutting means. Furthermore, the entire system allows a simplified and more efficient method of operation.
