A method of arresting blood vessels in soft tissue at a predetermined location relative to an excision location where a part of the soft tissue is to be removed, is described. The method comprises securing at least one clip to a retention means of at least one of a pair of fingers of forceps. The fingers of the forceps are then positioned on a respective side of the tissue at the predetermined location. The fingers are displaced towards one another to cause the at least one clip to penetrate the soft tissue and form a clamp whereby to clamp the blood vessels at the predetermined location. Thereafter an excision is made to remove the portion of the soft tissue and the fingers of the forceps are withdrawn with the clamp retained engaged by the clip. The clip, device and method achieve a substantially bloodless and painless surgical procedure. The clip is constructed from bioabsorbable polymeric material and may be impregnated with an analgesic, anesthetic, an antibiotic or an anti-inflammatory substance.
A method of arresting blood vessels in soft tissue at a predetermined location relative to an excision location where a part of soft tissue is to be removed, said method comprising the steps of:
A clip device for joining portions of bodily soft tissue, said clip device comprising at least two threading portions adapted to be inserted through portions of bodily soft tissue to be joined to arrest blood vessels in said portion of bodily soft tissue, a coupling portion connected to the at least two threading portions to secure the threading portions to the portions of bodily soft tissue, and retention means to cause said threading portions to clamp said bodily soft tissue together to arrest said blood vessels.
A device for applying a clip to clamp portions of bodily soft tissue together, said device comprising a forceps having a pair of arms each pivotally secured to one another and each defining a handle portion and a finger portion, the handle portion being operable to displace the finger portions in a scissor action, and retention means on at least one of the finger portions, the retention means adapted to receive a clip for joining portions of said bodily soft tissue, wherein a closing action of the forceps will cause the clip to be secured to clamp said portions of bodily soft tissue together.
