Laparoscopic Clip Applier

Bulldog ClipsIntestinal clips and applier/removal forceps

It is of the utmost importance to ensure that laparoscopic Bulldog Clips can be removed easily and quickly. For example, by interrupting the blood supply to the entire kidney during the resection procedure, partial nephrectomy is achieved. The period of ischaemia should be minimized to prevent kidney damage. Therefore, it is imperative that the Bulldog Clips are effortless to operate.

Benefits of Bulldog Clips over laparoscopic clamps:

- The use of the throw-off Bulldog Clip does not obstruct trocar access during application, as the application forceps can be withdrawn after the clip has been applied.

- The relevant stage of the operation can be achieved by positioning the occluded vessel or organ in a favorable manner. This mitigates the likelihood of trauma.
