Hem-O-Lok (TELEFLEX)

Hem-o-Lok clips are frequently utilized as an alternative to traditional ligation materials during laparoscopic surgery. These non-absorbable polymer locking clips are safe to employ on patients, nonconductive, inert, and compatible with CT and MRI scans [3,4,5]. Hem-o-lok clips have been used successfully in a variety of procedures, both open and laparoscopic. Hem-o-lok clips have been used successfully in a variety of procedures, both open and laparoscopic. They have teeth inside their jaws, a lock-engagement function, and are constructed of a nonabsorbable polymer. They have teeth inside their jaws, a lock-engagement function, and are constructed of a nonabsorbable polymer. Using polymeric clips to hold the appendiceal stump during a laparoscopic appendicectomy is a safe, practical, and affordable option. The clinical importance of the nine-minute reduction in operating time in the polymeric clip cohort justifies additional research using a sufficiently powered randomized controlled trial.
