What are endoscopic clips?
Endoscopic devices are often used during various medical tests and treatments including the digestive tract. In addition to flexible tubes, endoscopic clips are common tools for the treatment of ulcers, tears, bleeding and growth called polyps. The early form was deployed using a metal cable with a hook and often had to be re -loaded every time a clip was used. Pre -loaded versions are often available in different lengths depending on the procedure. Endoscopic clips are often twin -engine, but sometimes the types of three spikes are used, as well as those that can be open and closed before connecting and devices that include multiple clips.
The alternative to injection or heating the area that bleeds can be used to seal the site by endoscopic clips. They are also used to indicate areas during surgery, treatment of ulcery bleeding and sealing small arteries. In other cases, the clips can secure the tubes into the small intestine or even close the tears in the gastrointestinal traktu.
When using endoscopic clips, the surgeon usually rotates the handle to align the device and press the trigger to open it. The tube or catheter is attached to the movements of the channel, against body tissue. By pressing the trigger all the way, the surgeon can close the clip on the area he wants, and it usually makes a click on the sound or feeling of one. The device and catheter are usually separated and the rest of the tool can be removed.
other types of endoscopic clips can open wider than others. One includes three spikes that are generally suitable for grasping polyps and other structures. The device usually does not have to be rotated and the clip is usually connected to it; Like many other endoscopic clips, this does not normally open itself. Another species used during the endoscopic procedure is usually able to open and close, so the surgery can adjust the clip grip.
There are also devices thatErá can hold more endoscopic clips, so several of them can be used during surgery before re -loading the system. In general, most endoscopic equipment for clips can seal holes from 0.4 inches to 0.5 inches (about 10 to 12 millimeters). During endoscopy, the surgeon usually approaches a place to be cropped at a low angle and with a short distance between the tissue and the tip of the range, for safety.
