1. A device for treating tissue, comprising:
a clip including a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough, the clip further including a one-piece clipping element defining a pair of clip arms, proximal ends of which are received within the channel so that the first and second clip arms are movable relative to one another between an open configuration and a closed configuration;
a deployment mechanism including a tension member connected to the proximal ends of the first and second clip arms, a yoke releasably coupled to the tension member and longitudinally movable relative to the capsule to move the first and second clip arms between the open and closed configurations, the tension member and yoke configured to separate from one another to release the clip from a proximal portion of the device, in response to a predetermined proximal force applied to the tension member; and
a locking mechanism coupled to the one-piece clipping element and to the deployment mechanism, the locking mechanism including a pair of locking arms configured to engage a corresponding locking feature of the capsule to lock the first and second clip arms in the closed configuration when the yoke is separated from the tension member.
