A surgical clip applier and methods for applying surgical clips to a vessel, duct, shunt, etc., during a surgical procedure are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a surgical clip applier is provided having a housing with a trigger movably coupled thereto and an elongate shaft extending therefrom with opposed jaws formed on a distal end thereof. The trigger is adapted to advance a clip to position the clip between the jaws, and to move the jaws from an open position to a closed position to crimp the clip positioned therebetween.
What is claimed is: 1. A method for applying a surgical clip, comprising: applying a closing force to a pair of opposed jaws formed on a surgical clip applier, the closing force being effective to move the opposed jaws from an open position to a closed position, wherein the closing force is transfe
What is claimed is: 1. A method for applying a surgical clip, comprising: applying a closing force to a pair of opposed jaws formed on a surgical clip applier, the closing force being effective to move the opposed jaws from an open position to a closed position, wherein the closing force is transferred to an overload mechanism disposed within the surgical clip applier when the closing force is greater than a threshold force of the overload mechanism, the threshold force of the overload mechanism increasing as the jaws are moved from an open position toward the closed position. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the overload mechanism includes a force-receiving element that is adapted to receive the closing force, and a biasing assembly that is adapted to resist movement of the force-receiving element in response to the closing force. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the surgical clip applier includes a camming assembly adapted to apply the closing force to the jaws, the camming assembly including a member that moves across the force-receiving element as the closing force is applied to the jaws. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the threshold force of the overload mechanism increases as the member moves across the force-receiving element. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein, when the member moves across a first portion of the force-receiving element, the force-receiving elements pivots if the closing force is greater than the threshold force, and when the member moves across a second portion of the force-receiving element, the force-receiving element slides if the closing force is greater than the threshold force. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the threshold force required to pivot the force-receiving element is less than the threshold force required to slide the force-receiving element.
