OCCLUSION CLIP
First Claim
1. An occlusion clip comprising:
- a spring;
a first runner including a first open top, the first runner including a first interior camming surface partially delineating a first interior cavity that is open by way of the first open top;
a second runner including a second open top, the second runner including a second interior camming surface partially delineating a second interior cavity that is open by way of the second open top;
wherein the spring is configured to be coupled to the first runner and the second runner;
wherein the first interior cavity is configured to receive a first portion of the spring;
wherein the second interior cavity is configured to receive a second portion of the spring;
wherein the first interior camming surface is configured to engage a first cam of the spring; and
,wherein the second interior camming surface is configured to engage a second cam of the spring.

Abstract
An occlusion clip comprising: (a) a spring; (b) a first runner including a first open top and a first open end adjacent the first open top, the first runner including a first interior camming surface partially delineating a first interior cavity that is open by way of the first open top and the first open end; (c) a second runner including a second open top and a second open end adjacent the second open top, the second runner including a second interior camming surface partially delineating a second interior cavity that is open by way of the second open top and the second open end, where the spring is configured to be coupled to the first runner and the second runner, where the first interior cavity is configured to receive a first portion of the spring, where the second interior cavity is configured to receive a second portion of the spring, where the first camming surface is configured to engage a first cam of the spring, and where the second camming surface is configured to engage a second cam of the spring.

50. An occlusion clamp comprising:
-
a spring comprising at least two elongated legs coupled together at a first end and independently repositionable with respect to one another at second, free ends so that the spring is open-ended, the spring having a dominant dimension measured from the first end to one of the second ends; a first runner coupled to a first leg of the at least two elongated legs, the first runner comprising an elongated occlusion beam having an occlusion surface, the first runner having a dominant dimension; a second runner coupled to a second leg of the at least two elongated legs, the second runner comprising an elongated occlusion beam having an occlusion surface, the second runner having a dominant dimension; wherein the spring is configured to bias the occlusion surface of the first runner toward the occlusion surface of the second runner; and
,wherein the dominant dimensions of the spring, first runner, and the second runner extend in generally the same direction. - View Dependent Claims (56, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92)
