Tech in Surgery Prep / Unit 23 TSC 554 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Clamps, Ties and Clips
Captions available
The idea
Clamps, ties and clips work together: a clamp holds the vessel, and a tie or clip closes it.
In practice
After a hemostat grasps a vessel, it is tied off with suture or sealed with energy; clip appliers place clips directly on vessels.
Where people slip
Keep ties and loaded clip appliers ready whenever the surgeon is clamping vessels.
