Description

Applying Forceps for Aneurysm Clips, Flexible

This flexible aneurysm clip applier holds an aneurysm clip, opens it and places it across the aneurysm neck. Vascular neurosurgeons use it under the microscope during aneurysm clipping.

What a clip applier does

An aneurysm clip needs a dedicated tool to open and release it. So, the applier grips the clip securely while the surgeon guides it into position. Then the surgeon releases the clip and withdraws the forceps.

Mini or Standard

We sell this flexible aneurysm clip applier in two versions: Mini and Standard. Both measure 23 cm. The two versions typically match clip families of the same names. However, please tell us your clip brand when ordering so we can confirm the fit.

Where it fits in clipping

First, the surgeon dissects the aneurysm neck and its parent vessels. Next, the applier carries the chosen clip to the neck. In addition, many teams keep a second applier loaded with a backup clip.

Choosing between the versions

The main question is clip compatibility. Therefore, check the clip system in your hospital before choosing Mini or Standard. If you are unsure, send us the clip brand and series, and we will help you match an applier.

Caring for your flexible aneurysm clip applier

Flush the jaws and joint with water right after surgery. Then clean them gently with a soft brush, because the tips are delicate. Finally, dry the forceps well and sterilize them in a protective tray.
