While ligating intra-operatively, a surgeon often encounters many vexing problems:

 

Deep tissues and blood vessels difficult to expose, operative field too narrow, a high difficulty of suture knotting and a poor safety

In such operations as colon resection and total abdominal hysterectomy, the suturing points are often too numerous, dissection and ligation too repetitive and tedious and too much operative time wasting;

The suture tension is non-lasting and the ligation of major arteries becomes limited

As to the steely structure of a metal titanium clip, the ligation range is narrow and may inflict great cutting injuries to the blood vessel. Some operations become limited. Usage is inconvenient and it may have imaging artefact and disorientation;

The absorbable ligation materials are easily contaminated with bacteria and sometimes they may cause tissue reactions and predispose to cancer

If only there is one kind of ligation device being safe, time-saving, easy-to-handle, long-elastic, sturdy and free-of-tissue-reaction. And more.

 

Now with Click-into-place, all the problems are solved

Taichi Clip to bring about a revolution in ligative operations

 

Taichi Clip advantages:

 

1.Safe

  Locking device with a more secure closure

  Anti-slippage & anti-rupture designs

  Maintaining the vitality of ligations cut-ends

  Made of non-absorable materials, anti-bacterial, non-toxic & no rejection of human tissues.

 

2.Reliable

  Touch-sensing closing mode with tangible safetyclosure more complete

  Neither visualization nor artefact on X-ray, MRI or CT examination

  No tissue reactivity, no tissue adhesion and no eschar

  Hinge plus arch-shaped screw leg so that the ligation maneuvering range is expanded.

 

3.Rapid

  Capable of fetching the ligation target and reducing the separation of ligated tissues & regions

  No loose-screw design, saving operation time and replacing the traditional silk string for ligation

  Barbed device, penetrating the surrounding tissues and saving operative time.

 

 

Taichi Clip versus Metal Titanium Clip

Taichi Clip:

Minimal injuries to blood vessel & tissue,

No slicing effect,

Protruding design and no loose screw,

Clipping device, complete closure and no slippage,

Hinge plus arch-shaped leg, a wide range of ligation,

Touchable closure and tangible safety,

Neither artefact nor diffraction on CT/MRI examination,

Replacing silk suturing.

 

Metal Titanium Clip:

Causing major injuries to blood vessel & tissue,

Excessive clipping may cut blood vessel,

Clip-applying forceps retracts in clip-holding forceps,

Clip-applying forceps prone to sliding and detaching,

Inflexible structure with a narrow range of ligation,

Non-touch closure device,

Artefacts and polarizations on CT/MRI,

Impossible to achieve.

 

 

Taichi Clip versus Absorbable Hem-o-Lok

Taichi Clip

Made of polymeric materials and no absorption / degradation,

Metal-like inertia features,

No supporting bacterial growth,

No harboring of infective bacteria,

No tissue rejection / growth / granuloma &

Maintaining the viability of tissue cut-ends.

 

Absorbable Hem-o-Lok

Made of esterified materials, though absorbable and degradable,

Yet prone to infections and tissue reactions,

Possibly carcinogenic, rare or forbidden uses in European & American countries,

Poor safety performance of ligation and a complex process of releasing,

Expensive.
