LIGATION CLIP WITH CONTROLLED TISSUE COMPRESSION

摘要

A surgical ligation clip includes a first jaw, a second jaw, and a central beam that is positioned between the first and second jaws. The ligation clip is configured to clamp tissue between the first jaw and the central beam. The central beam is resilient and applies a controlled pressure to a body vessel during clamping of the body vessel to prevent over compression of the body vessel while allowing for proper vessel sealing and minimizing the likelihood of ischemic tissue damage.
