An anastomosis clip comprising a first side including a first end portion and at least one first suture guide, the first suture guide being disposed on a top of the clip, the first end portion and the first suture guide defining a first suture space open toward the top of the clip, the first side further including a first carrier slot on the bottom of the clip. The clip further includes a second-side, including a second end portion and at least one second suture guide, the second suture guide being disposed on the top of the clip, the second end portion and the second suture guide defining a second suture space open toward the top of the clip, the second side further including a second carrier slot on the bottom of the clip. The clip further includes a hinge connecting the first and second side, the hinge being disposed on the top of the clip. The first side is biased toward the second side. An introducer device including handles and posts may be used to introduce the anastomosis clip into a patient. In use, the posts on the introducer device are inserted into the suture guides. The introducer is manipulated to open the anastomosis clip. Thereafter, the clip is inserted into a patient and placed on two organ segments. The suture spaces allow for continuous suturing of the organ segments. As the sutures spaces may communicate with each other, the anastomosis clip may be removed from the organ segments after the suturing.

An anastomosis normally closed clip comprising a first side including at least one first suture guide, the first suture guide being disposed on a top of the clip, the first end portion and the first suture guide defining a first suture space open toward the top of the clip, the first side further including a first carrier slot on the bottom of the clip; and a second side which is the mirror image of the first side. An introducer device is used to open the clip and introduce it into a patient over two organ segments to be sutured together and allow the clip to close. The suture spaces allow for continuous suturing of the organ segments. The introducer device is used to remove the clip from the patient after the suture procedure.
