The invention relates to a surgical clip for minimally invasive surgery and to a device for clamping organic tissue, consisting of a first clamping bar corresponding with a second clamping bar, wherein the first clamping bar and the second clamping bar each have, on both sides on their base, shoulders for guiding them into a cartridge, and one clamping bar has a continuous retaining bore into which, in order to clamp the organic tissue, a retaining pin provided on the other clamping bar engages with a force fit and form fit, the first clamping bar (1) is mounted by means of clamp pressing in a cartridge (11), and the second clamping bar (2) with the continuous retaining bore (3) has, at its lower end, an arm (5) which, upon joining to the first clamping bar (1), slides with a form fit under the shorter first clamping bar (1) with the retaining pin (4), thus clamping the organic tissue, or the first clamping bar (1) with the retaining pin (4) at its lower end has the arm (5) which, upon joining to the second clamping bar (2), slides with a form fit under the shorter second clamping bar (2) with the retaining bore (3), thus clamping the organic tissue, and a tissue clip is thus given considerable additional stability.
