A ligation clip made from synthetic polymer and designed to be non-bioabsorbable is a small, implantable clasp used to permanently occlude blood vessels or tissue bundles during surgical procedures. It is commonly employed in both open and minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopy, to achieve hemostasis or secure tissue without the use of metal.
These devices are typically supplied as sterile, single-use implants and may be provided with a dedicated disposable applier for precise placement. Their non-metallic, radiolucent composition improves compatibility with postoperative imaging modalities like MRI and CT, reducing artifacts compared to metallic alternatives.
