1. An occlusion device comprising:
- an occlusion clamp comprising a first beam and a second beam biased toward one another; and
,an occlusion clamp deployment device comprising a repositionable frame removably coupled to the occlusion clamp, the repositionable frame comprising a plurality of repositionable links that are mounted to one another and are oriented around the occlusion clamp.

Abstract
The instant disclosure is directed to devices and methods for deploying a biased occlusion clamp. In addition, the present disclosure includes devices and methods for deploying a biased occlusion clamp using robotics. Moreover, the present disclosure includes devices and methods for reducing the force necessary to open an occlusion clamp without permanently compromising the clamping force of the clamp itself.

- 7. A method of fabricating an occlusion device, the method comprising mounting an occlusion clamp deployment device to an occlusion clamp, the occlusion clamp comprising a first beam and a second beam biased toward one another, the occlusion clamp deployment device including a counterbias spring biasing the first and second beams of the occlusion clamp away from one another, wherein the biasing of the counterbias spring exerts a force less than a force biasing the first beam and the second beam toward one another.
