Abstract
A surgical clip device is provided for closing vessels, for example in neurosurgery. The surgical clip device is provided with at least two electrically conductive clip parts that are electrically isolated from each other and are arranged at a predetermined distance opposite each other. Each of the two clip parts may be held with a first free end thereof on an electrically isolating holding part in one of a U-shaped or a V-shaped configuration.
Claims7
Surgical clip device for closing vessels, comprising:
- two electrically conductive clip parts arranged in electrical isolation from each other and spaced apart at a predetermined distance opposite each other;
- wherein:
- each of the two clip parts are held with a first free end thereof on an electrically isolating holding part in one of a U-shaped or a V-shaped configuration;
- the two electrically conductive clip parts are asymmetrically configured clamp arms;
- and
- the electrically isolating holding part is arranged in an off-center position in the U-shaped or V-shaped configuration;
- the electrically isolating holding part is spaced apart from an arcuate part integrally formed on one of the clamp arms;
- the arcuate part defines a center position of the clip device and is configured to primarily provide plastic deformation when applying the clip device;
- the electrically isolating holding part extends over an entire cross section of one of the claim arms, the cross section extending transverse to a longitudinal direction defined by one of the clamp arm in a position of the electrically isolating holding part.

Clip applicator for use with a surgical clip device, the surgical clip device comprising:
- two electrically conductive clip parts arranged in electrical isolation from each other and spaced apart at a predetermined distance opposite each other;
- wherein:
- each of the two clip parts are held with a first free end thereof on an electrically isolating holding part in one of a U-shaped or a V-shaped configuration;
- the applicator comprises a gripping tool having electrically isolated gripping jaws, each of the gripping jaws being configured to apply energy to a corresponding one of the two clip parts;
- the gripping jaws are connectable to a coagulation current-delivering current source;
- the two clip parts are asymmetrically configured clamp arms;
- and
- the electrically isolating holding part is arranged in an off-center position in the U-shaped or V-shaped configuration;
- the electrically isolating holding part is spaced apart from an arcuate part integrally formed on one of the clamp arms;
- the arcuate part defines a center position of the clip device and is configured to primarily provide plastic deformation when applying the clip device;
- the electrically isolating holding part extends over an entire cross section of one of the claim arms, the cross section extending transverse to a longitudinal direction defined by one of the clamp arms in a position of the electrically isolating holding part.
