A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to apply small atraumatic clips for the ligation of blood vessels, or similar tubular anatomy, mainly to stop and/or prevent bleeding (i.e., haemostasis) during an open-surgery procedure. The device is typically a metallic, forceps-like instrument with flat, curved ends to hold and deliver the clips; it may be preloaded with clips and include a mechanism for single or multiple insertions of clips. This is a single-use device that has previously been used on a patient and has been subjected to additional processing and manufacturing for an additional single-use patient application.
