HEMOSTASIS CLIP REDUCED LENGTH DEPLOYMENT MECHANISM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18676105 titled 'HEMOSTASIS CLIP REDUCED LENGTH DEPLOYMENT MECHANISM

The patent application describes a clipping device with a unique design for easy deployment and disengagement during medical procedures.

  • The clipping device consists of a clip with a capsule and movable clip arms, a tension member with protrusions to engage the clip arms, and a yoke with a recess to release the tension member.
  • The tension member includes a relief to form fingers that flex to disengage from the yoke when a specific force is applied.
  • This design allows for efficient deployment and removal of the clip during medical procedures, enhancing precision and speed.
  • The innovative features of the clipping device improve the overall effectiveness and safety of medical interventions requiring clipping.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in clipping devices for medical applications to ensure optimal performance and safety in clinical settings.


Original Abstract Submitted

A clipping device includes a clip including a capsule and a pair of clip arms movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. A tension member includes a distal portion and a proximal portion, a pair of protrusions extending from opposing surfaces of the proximal portion to be received within openings extending through proximal ends of the clip arms, the proximal portion including a relief to define a pair of fingers separated from one another at proximal ends thereof. A yoke including a central portion including a recess formed at a distal end thereof, the recess sized and shaped to releasably receive the pair of fingers of the tension member, the pair of fingers configured to flex toward one another when a predetermined force is exerted thereon to release the pair of fingers from the recess and disengage the tension member from the yoke during deployment of the clip.
