5mm & 10mm Hemolock Clip Applicator – Laparoscopic Surgical Instrument
A 5mm and 10mm Hemolock clip applicator is a specialized laparoscopic surgical instrument designed to apply compatible polymer locking clips to blood vessels, tissue bundles, and other anatomical structures during minimally invasive surgery.
Available in different shaft diameters, the 5mm Hemolock clip applicator is designed for use through compatible smaller laparoscopic ports, while the 10mm Hemolock clip applicator is intended for larger access ports and compatible larger polymer clips.
What Is a Hemolock Clip Applicator?
A Hemolock clip applicator is a surgical instrument used to accurately position and deploy a polymer locking clip during laparoscopic procedures. The applicator holds the clip securely, allows the surgeon to position it at the target site, and releases the clip after appropriate placement.
These instruments are commonly designed with a long shaft and ergonomic handle to provide controlled access and manipulation during minimally invasive procedures.
5mm vs 10mm Hemolock Clip Applicator
The main difference between 5mm and 10mm applicators is the shaft diameter, trocar compatibility, and corresponding clip size/application.
| Feature | 5mm Hemolock Clip Applicator | 10mm Hemolock Clip Applicator |
|---|---|---|
| Shaft Diameter | 5 mm | 10 mm |
| Port Requirement | Compatible 5 mm trocar | Compatible 10 mm trocar |
| Typical Application | Smaller access and tighter spaces | Larger access and larger clip applications |
| Clip Compatibility | Compatible smaller/medium polymer clips | Compatible larger polymer clips |
| Maneuverability | Suitable for finer access | Greater instrument size and rigidity |
| Use | Minimally invasive surgery | Minimally invasive surgery |
Important: Exact clip compatibility depends on the applicator manufacturer and model
