Weck Hem-o-lock Polymer Clip – 544220
The Weck Hem‑o‑lok Polymer Clip (544220) is a non‑absorbable, sterile, medium‑sized polymer locking clip designed for secure vessel ligation in open and laparoscopic surgery. Its unique locking mechanism and tactile feedback reassure surgeons of secure closure. Packaged with 6 clips per cartridge and 14 cartridges per box (84 clips total).
This clip features a first‑of‑its‑kind hinge and boss design that ensures retention in the applier jaws and prevents slippage. The integrated locking teeth and audible tactile feedback let surgeons confirm secure closure, significantly reducing the risk of vessel recoil. Fabricated from inert, radiolucent polymer, it won’t interfere with CT, MRI, or X‑ray imaging. Clinically backed by over 80 peer‑reviewed studies, it’s recognized for superior pull‑off resistance and leak integrity compared to metal clips in ex vivo testing.
