Based on an ex-vivo study*, Weck ® Hem-o-lok ® polymer clips provide unparalleled security compared to Ethicon LIGAMAX ™ 5, Ethicon LIGACLIP ® ERCA 10 mm, and Covidien Endo Clip ™ III in three common clip failure modes.

The authors concluded that the Hem-o-lok ® Polymer Locking Ligation System (XL clip size) is a cost-effective and reliable option for the control of renal veins in laparoscopic nephrectomy. Robotic partial nephrectomy with sliding-clip renorrhaphy: technique and outcomes.

• Weck ® Hem-o-lok ® Polymer Locking Ligation Systems provide unparalleled security based on an ex-vivo study, against leading competitors in three common clip failure modes*, the ability to ligate larger vessels through a smaller port, and cool ligation. • Hem-o-lok ® Clips are ideal for both open and laparoscopic cases.

• Hem-o-lok ® Endoscopic Appliers are available in both one-piece and take-apart designs • Flush ports for thorough cleaning. Rev MC-008133

The Hem-o-lok product line is an innovative cold ligation system that combines the security of a 2.0 suture with the speed of a metal clip for open and laparoscopic surgery Non-absorbable polymer locking clip is inert, non-conductive, CT / MRI compatible

The Weck ® Hem-o-lok ® Closure System’s unique design and flexible hinge keep the clip firmly seated in applier jaws. The clip’s distinct tactile feedback confirms jaw seating and secure vessel placement.

Hem-o-lok Ligating Clips are contraindicated for use in ligating the renal artery during laparoscopic donor nephrectomies. Weck Hem-o-lok Polymer Locking Ligation System

Please see the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of the indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.

The Weck® Hem-o-lok® Closure System’s unique design and flexible hinge keep the clip firmly seated in applier jaws. The endoscopic applier system enables surgeons to ligate up to 10 mm vessels through a 5 mm port or up to 16 mm vessels through a 10 mm port.

The Hem-o-lok Clip’s non-absorbable polymer composition and flexible hinge allow it to pass through a smaller port and provide a larger distal opening than comparable metal clips.
