A new hemostatic clip for endoscopic surgery that can maintain blood flow after clipping

Figure 5 In vivo experiments for partial-occlusion testing. A: Separating the target vessel (infra-hepatic inferior vena cava) from surrounding tissues; B: Scratching the surface of the target vessel using electrocautery; C: Inducing intentional bleeding on the target vessel; D: Grabbing the bleeding site using the clip applier; E: Stanching the bleeding site on the target vessel by implanting the proposed hemostatic clip; F: Suctioning the blood around the target vessel after hemostasis.
