Vas-Q-Clip

The Vas-Q-Clip is designed for use in general and plastic surgery settings, as explicitly noted in its regulatory submission. This classification aligns with procedures requiring vascular ligation—such as reconstructive, cosmetic, or oncologic surgeries—where securing blood vessels is critical to prevent complications like bleeding or clip migration. If your practice involves these specialties, the Vas-Q-Clip’s occlusion pressure and migration resistance features may be particularly relevant to your workflow.

The Vas-Q-Clip is explicitly supplied as a single-use, sterile device, meaning it is not intended for reprocessing or reuse. This simplifies inventory management by eliminating the need for sterilization validation or cleaning protocols, while also reducing the risk of cross-contamination or device degradation from repeated use. Single-use also aligns with modern surgical best practices for implantable devices.

The Class II designation indicates the Vas-Q-Clip undergoes special controls to ensure its safety and effectiveness, including performance standards and post-market surveillance. For buyers, this means the device has undergone rigorous review by the FDA under 510(k) clearance (K151943), demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. While it doesn’t require a prescription, purchasing should follow your facility’s standard procurement processes for Class II medical devices, including compliance with inventory tracking and expiration protocols.

The Vas-Q-Clip is available in multiple registration numbers and product codes (e.g., 3021194552, 1018233, etc.), which correspond to variations in size or design tailored for different vascular applications. While the exact sizing details aren’t specified here, the device’s design features—such as occlusion pressure and migration resistance—are optimized for general vascular ligation tasks. Consulting your surgical team or referencing the manufacturer’s product catalog (available upon request) will help match the correct model to vessel diameter and procedural requirements.

As a sterile, single-use device, the Vas-Q-Clip must be stored in its original packaging until immediately before use to preserve sterility. The packaging should be kept in a clean, dry environment, protected from moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. Always check the expiration date on the packaging, and avoid exposing the device to contaminants or mechanical stress. Follow your facility’s standard protocols for sterile instrument handling to ensure optimal performance during surgery.
