Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 21 TSC 504 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Clip Appliers
Captions available
The idea
Clip appliers place small metal or absorbable clips around vessels or ducts to close them.
In practice
They come in open and laparoscopic versions; clips are loaded in the applier or come preloaded in cartridges.
Where people slip
Ask which clip size the surgeon wants, and keep spare loaded appliers ready during dissection.
