Aneurysm clip

1,514 devices · GMDN 34958

Aneurysm clips are surgical tools designed to permanently seal off an aneurysm—a bulging area in a blood vessel—to stop bleeding or rupture. Clinically, they are used during neurosurgery to isolate intracranial aneurysms, preventing blood flow into the weakened vessel wall while maintaining circulation elsewhere.

These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants, often requiring pre-market approval or conformity assessment depending on the jurisdiction. They are single-use, sterile, and supplied with a dedicated delivery system for precise placement by surgeons during open or minimally invasive procedures.
