Surgical clips designed to hold and/or manipulate bandages and/or dressings during surgical procedures. These clips are typically small metal instruments with two blades crossed at the midportion, permitting manipulation in a cross-action, or joined at the midportion, resembling forceps or scissors. Bandage clips have blunt ends that do not perforate, tear, or damage objects. The instrument is designed to temporarily attach or hold a bandage or dressing during surgery; it may also be used in other medical procedures.
