A medical clip dispenser apparatus for the pinching of a medical clip or staple about a portion of a mammalian body tissue. The apparatus comprises an elongated support beam having a distal end with a stationary lower housing thereon, and a distally movable hollow cinch slidably disposed on the lower housing. The cinch has a portion of a pair of closable jaws squeezably arranged therewithin. An elongated pusher has a generally cross-shaped pusher member on a distal end thereof in slidable engagement with the jaws, to keep the jaws apart from one another after a new clip has been pushed into position between the jaws.

Apparatus for retrieving a tissue volume of a variety utilizing an electrosurgically excited cable implemented capture component which performs in combination with an improved precursor assembly. Where that assembly is electrosurgically excited, then it is located and dimensioned to avoid arc-over with the capture component cables. A precursor assembly also is implemented with electrically insulative ceramic blade and trocar configurations.
