KOPITNIK AVM Micro Clip System
Clips for microsurgical treatment of arteriovenous malformations
KOPITNIK AVM Micro Clips are special clips for the microsurgical treatment of angiomas. Depending on the intraoperative situation, the clips can be applied temporarily and removed again after the operation, or they are simply left on the vessel as permanent implants.
All KOPITNIK AVM Micro Clips exert a pre-defined closing force of between 50 to 70 grams. They also feature a special, pyramid-shaped structure stamped on the inner blade surfaces. This surface structure allows the tissue to sink in between the pyramid shapes and thus doubles the contact surface for the tissue, ensuring that the AVM Micro Clip always has a secure grip of the vessel.
Advantages
- Excellent blade profile for a secure grip of the vessel
- Sticker label for patient and hospital documentation
