Non- absorbable Polymer ligation clip for vessel ligation use

Polymer Ligating Clips are implantable medical devices made of an advanced polymer to ensure a high level of biocompatibility along with the structural and dimensional stability over time, necessary for long-lasting patient safety. They are designed to combine the speed of the metal clip with outstanding security comparable to 2.0 suture. This combination leads to extreme time savings. The inner surface of the legs of Polymer ligating clip has staggered opposed teeth arrangement inclined towards the gripped tissue. In a number of procedures, Polymer Ligating Clips successfully replace endostaplers or the harmonic scalpel, combining highest security level with cost savings. Equally important is the low interference with CT scanning, radiolucency in X-rays and the great safety in MRIs resulting in the lack of artifacts. Every clips is fitted with the hinge and the latch tested in thousands of procedures.

Model and Size

Key Feature

- 4 sizes to ligate tissue structures from 2mm to 16mm,

- ligate up to a 10mm tissue through a 5mm trocar or up to16mm through a 10mm trocar,

- easy loading system,

- removers available to unlock the clip,

- clips delivered in color-coded cartridges for easy identification,

- 4 or 6 clips per cartridge to ensure economical and comfortable use of the product,

- 20cm, 27cm and 27cm 70° angled clip appliers with properly sized jaws,

- color-coded applier rings for easy identification.

Advantage

- non-absorbable polymer = unlimited hold-on time

- penetrating lock = fast and effective closure, security on the tissue, tactile feedback on closure

- self-leading lock = no scissoring of the clip

- precision bosses = security in the applier – no dropouts, no slip-back, tactile feedback on

loading

- bowed shape = ability to encompass more tissue

- living hinge = flexibility during opening and closing, no over-closing

- integrated teeth = no slippage on the tissue

Loading Clips and Inserting the applier down the cannula

1. To load the applier, grasp the applier and carefully insert the jaws of the applier into the cartridge slot, making sure the jaws are perpendicular to the base of the cartridge. Gently press the applier over the clip until there is an audible double click.Do not force the applier into the cartridge or onto the clip. The applier should enter and withdraw from the cartridge easily.

2. Remove the applier from the cartridge ensuring the clip is held securely in the applier jaws. The clips bosses should seat in the notches of the applier jaws ( picture 1). It may be necessary to hold the cartridge to allow the clip to be removed.

3. Compress the applier handles and insert the applier jaws and shaft down the cannula. Maintain compression on the applier handles until the jaws clear the cannula. Clip positioning and closure

1). During application, Orient the single tooth of the clips as shown(picture1). This allows the user to visually confirm encapsulation of the structure being ligated.

2) Position the clip around the tissue to be ligated in a manner that provides clear visualization of the locking

mechanism.(picture2). NOTE: Avoid excess tissue in the locking mechanism of the clip. Apply sufficient force

to the applier handles so the jaws close and the clip locks shut(picture3).

• Releasing pressure on the applier handles allows the applier to return to a fully open position.

• Releasing pressure on the applier handles allows the applier to return to a fully open position.
