ABSTRACT:
A clip applicating device deploys surgical clips to ligate ducts and/or vessels during surgical procedures. While the clip is deployed the device simultaneously delivers electrosurgical energy to the affected tissue through the clip. This causes the clip and the adjacent tissue to be fused together, resulting in more secure surgical clips. The clipping device may be configured either as a bipolar or a monopolar instrument.
