A metal hemostatic clip comprising a pair of leg members connected at their proximal ends by a thinned hinge area, said hinge area being at least from 8% to 30% thinner than the thickness of a leg member and said thinned area being slightly wider than and extending a distance along each leg member from the proximal end thereof towards the distal end thereof a distance of from ½to 3 times the thickness of a leg member, said distance being such that whereby on closing of the clip, the clip bends in the thinned area and when the clip is closed there is substantially no gap between the leg members.
