A clipping device, comprising: a clip including a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough, and a pair of clip arms , proximal ends of which are slidably received within the channel to move the clip arms between an open configuration and a closed configuration, each of the pair of clip arms including an elongated opening extending through the proximal ends thereof; a connector including a central portion receivable between the proximal ends of the clip arms and a pin extending from the central portion receivable within the opening of each of the clip arms, the connector movable from an unlocked configuration, in which the pin is received within a distal portion of the elongated opening , to a locked configuration, in which the pin is received within a proximal portion of the elongated opening , when a predetermined force is applied thereto; and a control member extending through a proximal portion of the clipping device from a proximal end to a distal end releasably coupled to the connector so that a longitudinal movement of the control member relative to the capsule moves the clip between the open and the closed configurations, when the connector is in the unlocked configuration; characterised in that the distal and proximal portions of the elongated opening are connected via a middle portion having a width smaller than a width of the distal and proximal portions wherein one of the pin and a portion of the clip arms is configured to deform to permit movement of the pin from the distal portion to the proximal portion. a clip including a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough, and a pair of clip arms , proximal ends of which are slidably received within the channel to move the clip arms between an open configuration and a closed configuration, each of the pair of clip arms including an elongated opening extending through the proximal ends thereof; a connector including a central portion receivable between the proximal ends of the clip arms and a pin extending from the central portion receivable within the opening of each of the clip arms, the connector movable from an unlocked configuration, in which the pin is received within a distal portion of the elongated opening , to a locked configuration, in which the pin is received within a proximal portion of the elongated opening , when a predetermined force is applied thereto; and a control member extending through a proximal portion of the clipping device from a proximal end to a distal end releasably coupled to the connector so that a longitudinal movement of the control member relative to the capsule moves the clip between the open and the closed configurations, when the connector is in the unlocked configuration; characterised in that the distal and proximal portions of the elongated opening are connected via a middle portion having a width smaller than a width of the distal and proximal portions wherein one of the pin and a portion of the clip arms is configured to deform to permit movement of the pin from the distal portion to the proximal portion. <EOS>
