Gastrointestinal endoscopic clips designed for short-term use (up to 30 days) are metallic devices deployed via endoscopy to control bleeding, seal perforations, or approximate tissue in the GI tract. They are primarily used during procedures to mark areas of interest, close defects, or manage mucosal/submucosal injuries while minimizing complications.
These devices are typically single-use, sterile, and may include a disposable applicator for precise placement. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use—such as hemostasis or defect closure—rather than a universal class. Availability depends on local medical practice guidelines and regulatory approvals for specific clinical applications.
