1. A clipping system for treating tissue, comprising:
an adapter including a proximal portion configured to be coupled to a distal end of an insertion device via steering members extending from proximal ends to distal ends, the steering members extending alongside the insertion device with distal ends of the steering members connected to the proximal end of the adapter so that moving the steering members longitudinally relative to the insertion device steers the adapter between a first position, in which the adapter is substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the insertion device, and a second position, in which the adapter is angled away from the longitudinal axis of the insertion device;
a clip configured to be mounted over a distal portion of the adapter, the clip including first and second jaws connected to one another such that the first and second jaws are movable between an insertion configuration, in which the first and second jaws extend about opposing portions of the distal portion of the adapter and are separated from one another to receive tissue therebetween, and an initial deployed configuration, in which the clip is moved distally off of the adapter so that the first and second jaws are drawn toward one another to grip tissue therebetween, the first and second jaws being biased toward the initial deployed configuration;
a first extending member slidably received within one of the steering members so that a distal end of the first extending member extends distally toward the clip; and
a first control wire slidably received within the first extending member and through an opening extending through the first jaw of the clip so that an enlarged distal end of the first control wire extends distally of the opening, the enlarged distal end of the first control wire and the distal end of the first extending member being sized, shaped and configured such that the clip is held therebetween so that a simultaneous longitudinal movement of the first control wire and the first extending member relative to the adapter moves the clip between the insertion configuration, the initial deployed configuration, and a review configuration in which the clip is physically separated from the adapter to enhance visual observation of the clip.
