Abstract
A partly resorbable tissue clip for stapling tissue includes at least one gripping tooth that grips the tissue, at least one force deflecting element that is equipped with at least one gripping tooth, and at least one spring element that is connected to the at least one force deflecting element. The at least one gripping tooth or a portion of the at least one force deflecting element or of at least one of the force deflecting elements is made of bioresorbable material.
Claims14
A partly resorbable tissue clip, comprising:
- a mouth-type clamp device having an upper and a lower jaw, the clamp device being adapted to be opened and closed via a hinge or flexible molding interconnecting the upper and lower jaws to snap into a closed position by accumulated spring energy thereby generating a predefined clamping force in between,
- wherein the clamp device comprises a first portion formed from non-biologically resorbable material and the first portion formed from non-biologically resorbable material is a single piece forming a closed loop,
- at a middle portion of each jaw, the first portion formed from non-biologically resorbable material provides a flat force deflecting element respectively being orientated parallel to each other such that both middle portions are facing each other edgewise,
- a number of gripping teeth being provided at edges of the upper and lower jaws which face each other at least in the closed position of the jaws,
- wherein the gripping teeth for each jaw are integrally formed at a first plate, respectively, both the gripping teeth and the first plates being made of biologically resorbable material.
