Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ligating clips are small V-shaped staple-like devices that are placed around the lumen of a vessel or structure to close it.They may be made of one of several metals,such as stainless steel,tantalum,or titanium.Stainless steel clips are the most economical to use.Although more expensive,titanium clips are used frequently in specific surgical procedures,because the starburst reflection on postoperative radiographs is less with titanium than with other metals.Absorbable clips made of synthetic absorbable suture material also are available.
