LIGAMAX 5 Endoscopic Clip Applier
LIGAMAX 5 Endoscopic Clip Applier
Proper formation & unique clip design means on-structure clip security. Axial & lateral clip grooves minimize the risk of clip migration, increasing the force to remove the clip from a structure compared to a smooth clip.
Features & Benefits
Superior Clip, Superior Clip Security*
No other leading clip applier provides more in-jaw clip retention/security.1 LIGAMAX 5 Endoscopic Clip Applier is engineered for reliable clip engagement and retention by remaining in contact throughout the duration of the firing cycle. Additional stability is provided by the jaws for three points of contact.
Clips That Stay in Place
Greater in-jaw clip retention to reduce/mitigate clip dislodgement.2 LIGAMAX 5 Endoscopic Clip Applier provides greater in-jaw clip retention than all other leading 5mm clip appliers to reduce/mitigate clip dislodgement.2 Clips that stay in place during surgical maneuvering while positioning the jaws around a structure have a better chance of forming properly when fired.
