Clinical Application
Designed for controlled placement of hemostatic and ligating clips on vessels and tubular structures during open surgical procedures. The instrument facilitates atraumatic clip delivery for hemostasis and vessel ligation in general, vascular, ENT, and abdominal surgeries where precise single-handed clip application is required.
Design & Configuration
The hand-held, ratcheted applying mechanism provides tactile feedback and allows the operator to lock the jaws for consistent clip seating and secure closure. A 12.5 cm overall length offers a balance of reach and control for working in confined operative fields. The slender shaft and ergonomic handle design aid fine manipulation and one-handed operation during dissection and clip application.
