Gastrointestinal endoscopic clips designed for long-term use are metallic devices deployed via endoscopy to perform critical functions like sealing perforations, controlling bleeding, or approximating tissue. They are primarily used in procedures such as bariatric surgery, defect repair, or marking areas within the GI tract for diagnostic or therapeutic follow-up.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical implants due to their long-term placement, though classification varies by jurisdiction. They may be supplied as part of a disposable applicator system, requiring sterile handling and adherence to endoscopic procedure protocols.
