Product Usage
During surgery, the Hem-o-Lok® clip is applied over the target vessel or duct using a compatible applier. Once positioned, the surgeon closes the applier, and the clip’s locking mechanism engages with a noticeable tactile "click." The clip provides permanent ligation, preventing bleeding or leakage in both open and minimally invasive procedures.
Common real-world uses include cystic duct ligation in cholecystectomy, ureteral stump closure, vascular control, and organ resection procedures.
