Claim 5:
6. An occlusion device, comprising:
an elongate shaft;
a lower jaw extending from a distal end of the elongate shaft;
an upper jaw pivotably mounted at the distal end of the shaft and pivotable relative to the lower jaw; and
a control member at a proximal end of the elongate shaft, the control member being operatively associated with the upper jaw to cause pivot of the upper jaw relative to the lower jaw;
a housing at the distal end of the shaft, wherein the upper jaw is pivotably mounted to the housing;
a linkage movable relative to the housing and connected to the upper jaw, and a pull rod axially movable along the elongate shaft and connected to the linkage, whereby axial movement of the pull rod moves the linkage and causes pivot of the upper jaw relative to the lower jaw; and, a pull tube mounted in the elongate shaft and extending into the housing for operating the lower jaw, wherein the linkage slides along the pull tube when the linkage is moved within the housing.
