Surgical clip for e.g. ligating blood vessel, has filiform element presenting parallel rectilinear strands, positioned one with respect to another, to act as forceps by elastic deformation of strands in parallel plane

摘要

The clip has a filiform element presenting parallel rectilinear strands (1a-1b), positioned one with respect to another, to act as forceps by elastic deformation of the strands in a parallel plane during the process of ligating thinner vessel and/or sewing very thin organic or synthetic tissue. The clip is made from elastic super alloy e.g. nickel titanium naval ordnance laboratory (NITINOL)(RTM: nickel-titanium shape memory alloy) or bioresorptive material. Ends (4) of the strands are bend back.
