Polymer Ligating Clips

Polymer ligating clips are surgical instruments used to seal off the body's blood veins, ducts, and other tubular organs. They come in a variety of sizes and forms to accommodate various anatomical components and are constructed from a biocompatible polymer, such as polycarbonate. These are positioned all around the structure that needs to be blocked off before being compressed shut with a specialised tool. Polymer ligating clips stay in place, and eventually the blocked structure will close up due to normal healing processes in the body. They provide some advantages over more conventional ligation techniques like sutures or metal clips.
