Gastroenterological surgical clip OTSC® SYSTEM

The OTSC® System Set is a medical instrument for flexible endoscopies used to compress tissues in the gastrointestinal tract, stop bleeding, treat lesions on the organ walls of the gastrointestinal tract and mark lesions. The OTSC® System Set consists of an applicator cap with a mounted OTSC® clip, thread, thread retriever and a hand wheel for clip release. The OTSC® clip is delivered by means of an applicator cap mounted to the tip of gastroscopes or colonoscopes. The clip is released by tightening the thread with the hand wheel. The OTSC® clip for flexible endoscopy is a superelastic Nitinol device for compression and approximation of tissue in the digestive tract. Based on its unique design the clip closes itself and firmly anchors the tissue to be compressed for hemorrhage or closure of a GI organ wall lesion. Due to its smart material properties, OTSC® clip delivers constant force at the implantation site securing the therapeutic effect. The OTSC® clip is made of a biocompatible and MR conditional material and can remain in the body as a longterm implant.
