AnastoClip AC Closure System - Applier, surgical, clip, haemostatic, single use

Intended purpose

The AnastoClip applier has application in the repair of arteriovenous fistulae and the creation of everting anastomoses in blood vessels and other small tubular structures. The Applier is also intended for approximation of dural tissue.

Functional description

The device consists of a rotating shaft and an integral cartridge containing titanium clips. As the levers of the applier are squeezed together, the clip is closed around the everted tissue edges. As the levers are released, a new clip is automatically loaded into the clip applier jaws. It is recommended, with each procedure, to use the Tissue Everting Forceps to aid in the everting of the tissue edges and to use the AnastoClip remover for the removal of any clips (if necessary).
