Description

The HEMOLOK L CLIPS from Teleflex Medical's Weck® brand are an advanced solution for secure ligation in both open and minimally invasive surgical procedures. These non-absorbable, polymer clips are designed to ligate vessels and tissue structures effectively, accommodating diameters ranging from 5 mm to 13 mm.

Key Features

• Self-Locking Mechanism: Provides both tactile and audible feedback upon closure, ensuring reliable application.
• 360° Grip Design: Integrated teeth and ridges prevent slippage, while the bowed shape allows for easy accommodation and removal.
• Flexible Hinge: Facilitates passage through smaller ports, making it suitable for larger structures.
• Color-Coded System: The Large size is easily identifiable with its purple color, part of a comprehensive system that includes four sizes.

Material and Imaging Compatibility

Crafted from an inert, non-conductive, and radiolucent acetyl polymer, these clips do not interfere with CT, MRI, or X-ray imaging. This makes them ideal for a wide range of surgical environments without causing imaging artifacts.

Sterility and Usage

Supplied sterile, each cartridge contains six clips, with 14 cartridges per box, totaling 84 clips. They are compatible with both open and endoscopic appliers and removers, which are reusable and require proper cleaning and sterilization.

Indications for Use

HEMOLOK L CLIPS are indicated for use in general, urological, and minimally invasive surgeries, such as cholecystectomy and nephrectomy. They are not intended for fallopian contraceptive tubal occlusion or for ligating the renal artery during laparoscopic donor nephrectomies.

Safety and Performance

These clips are classified as MR Safe and comply with various regulatory standards, including CE and ISO certifications. They provide secure closure under high pressures and are designed to minimize patient trauma. Proper placement is crucial to avoid rare complications such as migration.

Maintenance and Instructions

As a single-use device, each clip must be used only once. Appliers and removers should be cleaned and sterilized before each use. Proper size selection and placement are essential, with feedback mechanisms confirming secure closure.

The HEMOLOK L CLIPS offer a reliable and versatile option for surgeons, enhancing procedural outcomes through innovative design and robust performance.
