Problems solved by technology

[0017] Second, as with any small surgical instrument used during surgery, there is the potential for the cartridge to accidentally drop into the patient's body cavity during the procedure and be left there
[0018] Finally, the structure of the retainer mechanism of many prior art cartridges is only designed to act as a retainer for the clip during transport and surgical readiness
If the cartridge is dropped or otherwise subjected to impact, these retainers will not function properly and will cause the clip to disengage prematurely from the cartridge

Embodiment Construction

[0030] see now figure 1 , illustrates an example of a substantially symmetrical surgical clip, indicated generally at 100, which is suitable for use in conjunction with the cartridge described herein. The clip 100 and other similar designs are designed specifically as hemostatic clips that can be closed around a blood vessel or other type of tissue to ligate the blood vessel, thereby preventing or reducing fluid flow through the blood vessel. Clip 100 may be constructed of any suitable biocompatible material, including certain metallic and polymeric components. Clip 100 is substantially symmetrical and generally "C", "U" or "V" shaped. The body of the clip 100 includes a first branch 102 and a second branch 104 connected at their proximal ends by an integral joint portion 106 .

[0031] see now figure 2 , a preferred embodiment of an assembled cartridge, generally designated 200, is provided in accordance with the present invention. As will be described in further detail ...

Abstract

A substantially translucent cartridge is provided for retaining surgical clips, such as those used in surgical ligating procedures. The cartridge includes a polymeric composition base and a separable polymeric composition clip retainer supported by the base wherein the polymeric composition of the base and retainer includes a particulate, light diffusing material for imparting a substantially translucent optical effect for rendering, surgical clips visible within the cartridge. The polymeric composition may further include a radiopaque additive for rendering the cartridge imageable during radiographing.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60 / 635,361 filed December 10, 2004, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The subject matter of the present application relates generally to the storage and retrieval of clips and, in particular, to surgical ligature clips ready for use in surgical procedures such as hemostasis. More particularly, the present invention relates to an enhanced visibility cartridge adapted to hold clips in an improved manner. Background technique [0004] During surgical procedures, many surgical procedures require ligation of blood vessels or other tissues in the body. For example, many surgical procedures require cutting blood vessels (such as veins or arteries), which may require ligation to reduce bleeding. In some cases, a surgeon may wish to temporarily tie off blood vessels during surgery to reduce blood ...
