The Teleflex Hem-o-lok Weck Ligation Clips are surgical clips used for vascular ligation, tissue closure, and occlusion of blood vessels, ducts, and other structures during various surgical procedures. These clips are designed to securely and effectively ligate tissues, often in minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic or endoscopic procedures.

1. Material:

   • The Hem-o-lok Weck Ligation Clips are made from medical-grade materials such as polymer or plastic (such as polypropylene) that provide excellent strength and security for ligating tissues. The material is chosen to be biocompatible, reducing the risk of foreign body reactions.

2. Design:

   • The clips feature a unique locking mechanism that ensures the clip remains securely in place after it is applied, providing a reliable closure for blood vessels, ducts, or other structures.
   • Weck Hem-o-lok clips have a locking mechanism that “snaps” into place, and the design of the clip prevents slippage or premature release, even under pressure.
   • The clips have a wide and rounded design that ensures minimal tissue trauma, preventing damage to the surrounding tissues when applied.

3. Sizes:

   • The Hem-o-lok clips come in a range of sizes to accommodate different surgical needs, allowing the clinician to select the right clip size for the vessel or tissue being ligated.
   • Common sizes include:
     • Small (S): For smaller vessels or structures.
     • Medium (M): For medium-sized vessels.
     • Large (L): For larger vessels or structures.

4. Application:

   • These clips are used to ligate blood vessels and tissues during a wide variety of surgeries. They are particularly common in laparoscopic surgeries, where they are used for securing vessels and ducts with minimal invasiveness.
   • They can be used in general surgery, gastrointestinal surgeries, urological procedures, gyn surgeries, and in other surgical specialties where occlusion or ligation of vessels or tissues is required.

5. Ease of Use:

   • The Hem-o-lok Weck Ligation Clips are designed to be easy to handle and apply. They can be applied with specially designed instruments (clip appliers) that ensure precise placement and secure closure.
   • The clips are designed to be used in conjunction with a disposable or reusable clip applier, which helps ensure the clips are applied with appropriate force and in the correct position.

6. Secure and Reliable Closure:

   • The locking mechanism of the Hem-o-lok clip provides secure ligation without the need for tying sutures, making it more efficient and less time-consuming compared to traditional methods. Once applied, the clips stay securely in place and are difficult to dislodge.

7. Radiopacity:

   • Some versions of the Hem-o-lok clips are radiopaque, allowing them to be visible under X-ray or fluoroscopy, which can be helpful if there is a need for follow-up imaging after the surgery to check for complications or verify the success of the ligation.

8. Minimally Invasive:

   • The small size and secure application make these clips particularly useful in minimally invasive surgeries, including laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures. They allow surgeons to ligate tissues with precision and without the need for large incisions.

9. Sterility and Single-Use:

   • Hem-o-lok clips are typically disposable and come sterilized in individual packaging. This ensures that each clip is safe to use and eliminates the risk of cross-contamination.

The preformed chevron shape of the Horizon™ Clip engulfs tissue with precise tip-to-tip closure. Heartshaped Titanium wire is designed to give each clip a firm grip on vessels, while the triangulated cross-section of the clip leg maximizes surface-to-surface contact between clip and jaw, practically eliminating clip fallout.
