Clinical Application
Designed to place preformed hemostatic clips securely onto vessels, ducts, and small tissue bundles, this McKenzie-style clip applying forceps is used to achieve rapid mechanical hemostasis during open surgical procedures. Common applications include general surgery, ENT, urology, vascular and thoracic procedures where precise clip placement reduces operative time and minimizes suture use. The instrument permits single-handed deployment of clips for sequential ligation.
Design & Configuration
The 15 cm length offers a balance of reach and tactile control for fine placement in confined operative fields. The McKenzie pattern features narrow, tapered jaws that cradle and seat preformed clips reliably; this geometry aids visualization at the tip and helps maintain axial alignment during deployment. The clip-applying mechanism is arranged to allow controlled release of the clip with minimal tissue manipulation, improving accuracy and reducing trauma to surrounding structures.
