Clinical Application
Designed for precise placement and retrieval of metallic ligating or hemostatic clips during open surgical procedures. The instrument is used to secure small- to medium-caliber vessels, to affix clips to tissue for lateral traction, and to remove or reposition clips when necessary during wound closure or intraoperative adjustment. Its 12 cm length makes it suitable for confined operative fields where fingertip control and tactile feedback are required.
Design & Configuration
The Michel pattern provides a focused jaw geometry engineered to engage the profile of standard surgical clips. The dual-function configuration allows the operator to apply clips with controlled pressure and to extract or reposition them without switching instruments, reducing instrument exchanges and improving workflow in the operative field. The compact length and handheld format support fine motor control and precise tip placement in shallow cavities and superficial dissections.
