Aesculap Titanium Ligating Clips are designed to provide the surgeon with a fast and efficient option to ligate a blood vessel. A surgical example of where a titanium clip is effective is a total splenectomy, an operation that involves multiple vessels that require double ligating and transection. The use of a titanium clip will decrease the time required to ligate each vessel and allow the patient to be recovered sooner. Titanium clips are totally inert and remain in the body forever.
