Claim 0:
1. A percutaneous device for closing blood vessels, comprising:
an internally hollow main body comprising a distal tip having a distal opening;
a distal clip and a proximal clip slidably accommodated inside the internally hollow main body, said distal clip and proximal clip being connected to each other by a tie rod, wherein the distal clip is fastened to the tie rod and the proximal clip slides with respect to the tie rod;
an abutment element for the distal clip and proximal clip, slidably accommodated inside the internally hollow main body, said abutment element comprising a longitudinal passageway for the tie rod;
a handle, connected to the internally hollow main body, to maneuver said distal clip, proximal clip, abutment element, and tie rod, wherein the distal clip comprises a needle-shaped distal perforation end that protrudes from the distal opening of the main body;
wherein the distal clip comprises at least one proximal longitudinal groove formed on an outer surface of the distal clip, and the proximal clip comprises a distal longitudinal groove formed on an outer surface of the proximal clip and a proximal longitudinal groove formed on an outer surface of the proximal clip, and wherein the tie rod is positioned inside said longitudinal grooves when the distal clip and the proximal clip are inserted into the internally hollow main body, and wherein the at least one proximal longitudinal groove of the distal clip occupies at least a proximal portion of said distal clip, the distal longitudinal groove of the proximal clip occupies at least a distal portion of said proximal clip and the proximal longitudinal groove of the proximal clip occupies at least a proximal portion of said proximal clip.
