l  Its upper arm is surfaced with slip-proof material and shaped as a hollowed crescent.

l  Its elasticity allows better closure, while the corrugation formed after closure can adjust the tightness accordingly so as to protect tissue. 

l  It is designed with staggered teeth that prevent slippage in any direction, and can also open wider, ligate more accurately and lock more firmly.

l  It is radiolucent and won’t cause any scattering or artifact on CT / MRI images.

l  It is made of inert polymer material, which has high biocompatibility and stability.

All these special designs make vascular ligation during minimally invasive operations easier for surgeons and safer for patients.

This ligation clip can apply to general, urological and ob-gyn surgeries, and comes in three sizes for vessel ranges of 4-11mm, 1-7mm and 0.5-4mm respectively.
