Vascular clip appliers designed to deliver small atraumatic vascular clips for blood vessel ligature during a single surgical procedure (i.e., disposable clip appliers) to stop and/or prevent bleeding (i.e., hemostasis). These appliers may include a mechanism for single or multiple insertions of clips. Dedicated disposable hemostatic clip appliers are available for use in open surgery in specific anatomic sites (e.g., arteries, scalp vessels, aneurysms); they deliver disposable vascular clips that are usually intended for temporary use during surgery.
