Lapro-Clip absorbable ligation clips:
Composed of two polymers:

• Inner track – made of polyglyconate
• Outer track – made from polyglycolic acid

These polymers degrade completely via hydrolysis:²

• Soft flexible inner track degrades in 180 days
• Rigid outer track degrades in 90 days

A dual-layer clip-lock mechanism

• The flexible inner layer of the absorbable clip wraps around the vessel to protect it from high ligation forces
• The rigid outer layer clicks on to and compresses the inner layer
• Two-part compression closure mechanism includes notches which may provide greater holding strength([FOOTNOTE=Klein, R.D. et al. (1994). “Comparison of Titanium and Absorbable Polymeric Surgical Clips for Use in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.” Surgical Endoscopy. 8: 753-758.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])^,†
• Lapro-Clip™ absorbable polymer clips compression closure mechanism may provide a more secure closure than clips with latch closure mechanisms([FOOTNOTE=R2171-007-0 Lapro-clip Long Claims Testing T0 and Interim, June 15th, 2015.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])^,‡
