1. A surgical system, comprising: a first clip including: a pair of jaws configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration to grasp a lesion therebetween; a magnet having a spherical shape and a radial center defining a channel therethrough; and a tether coupling the pair of jaws and the magnet to one another, wherein the tether extends through the channel in the radial center of the magnet, wherein the tether is a closed loop; and a second clip including: a pair of jaws configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration to grasp tissue within a body cavity; a magnet having a spherical shape; and a tether coupling the pair of jaws of the second clip and the magnet of the second clip to one another, wherein the magnet of the first clip and the magnet of the second clip are configured to couple to one another within the body cavity thereby providing counter-traction in the lesion to assist in dissection of the lesion.

2. The surgical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first clip includes an elongated collar configured to be detachably coupled to a surgical instrument, wherein the pair of jaws of the first clip is deployable from the collar.

3. The surgical system according to claim 2 , wherein the pair of jaws of the first clip is movable relative to the collar between a proximal position, in which the pair of jaws of the first clip is in the closed configuration, and a distal position, in which the pair of jaws of the first clip is in the open configuration.

4. The surgical system according to claim 1 , wherein the tether of the first clip has two ends crimped to one another.

5. The surgical system according to claim 1 , wherein the tether of the first clip is a suture.

6. The surgical system according to claim 1 , wherein each of the pair of jaws of the first clip and the tether of the first clip are free from metallic material.
