The first leg (12) has a first distal end (16) and the second leg (14) has a second distal end. The first leg (12) has a tissue gripping region (20) and the second leg (14) has the second tissue gripping region (22). The first tissue gripping region (20) has a first recess (42) on the first leg (12). The second tissue gripping region (22) has a second recess (42) on the io second leg (14). When the clip (10) is compressed the first recess (42) is compressed toward the second recess (42) and the first recess (42) and the second recess (42) overlap to form a two dimensional polygonal pattern with one another.1/4 10> 16 18 12 14 32 34 20 22 24 FIG. 1 18 10 14 40-- 24 32 46 44 16 12 42 FIG. 2
