Features
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 – leaving no foreign material in the body: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
- The two-part compression closure includes anti-slip notches to prevent clip migration
- Clips close front to back (distal to proximal) to optimise inclusion of the structure in the clip, preventing it slipping out during ligation. Tissue hydraulics may allow tissue to extrude out of the jaws with back-to-front closure1
- The front-to-back closing sequence may close more securely than clips with latch closure mechanisms, by reducing the risk of tissue interposition1
