IMPROVED SURGICAL CLIP APPLICATOR ABSTRACT Novel system for applying surgical clips consisting of an instrument and disposable cartridge that together create a forceps with the cartridge being quickly detachable from the instrument to permit easy and fast replacement during a surgical procedure. The instrument has ring handles as a forceps and they operate to reciprocate a driver. The cartridge includes clinching jaws and a clip magazine with the jaws quick detach- ably connected to the instrument in a fixed manner whereas an actuator for the jaws is quick detachably fixed to the recipro- cal driver of the instrument. A number of surgical clips can quickly and successively be supplied to the clinching jaws of the cartridge. The improved surgical device also includes a novel clip stop for preventing rearward movement or displace- ment of the clip, which clip stop comprises an elongated plate- like or arm member that, in a preferred embodiment, includes means defining a pair of projections and a concave intermediate portion that prevents the rearward movement or displacement of the clip and which serves to cause the elongated plate or arm to be moved upwardly and out of the way upon the actuation of the clip applicator.
