Hem-O-Lok Clips

Hem-o-Lok clips are routinely used during laparoscopic surgery as substitute ligation materials. These nonabsorbable polymer locking clips are inert, nonconductive, compatible with CT scan and MRI, and safe for patient use. Ligation clips are used ubiquitously throughout minimally invasive surgery for apposition of tissues. Their size limits their application beyond ligation of small tubular structures. Ligation and haemostatic clips work by approximating tissues to one another. This has notably provided most benefit when applied to small tubular structures such as blood vessels to provide hemostasis or to occlude anatomical ducts.
