Reusable vascular clip appliers designed for application of atraumatic microclips for the total or partial ligature of aneurysms, separating the aneurysm from the vasculature, and/or to prevent bleeding (i.e., hemostasis) in ruptured aneurysms. These appliers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes; they frequently include a mechanism for multiple insertions of aneurysm clips. The aneurysm clips are usually applied to the neck of the aneurysm; the applied clips may be intended for temporary use during the surgical procedure or as permanent implants.
