A device for clipping tissue includes a clip including first and second arms coupled to one another and biased toward an open configuration and a core member including a proximal portion and a distal portion connected to one another via a frangible link configured to break when subjected to a predetermined tension, the distal end of the core member being directly coupled to the first arm. The device further includes a capsule slidably housing the distal end of the core member and a proximal portion of the clip, the capsule being dimensioned so that, when the clip is drawn proximally thereinto, contact between the arms and the capsule move the arms toward one another into a closed, tissue-gripping configuration, the core member and the capsule being longitudinally movable relative to one another to move the clip between and a closed tissue-gripping configuration and the open configuration.
