Endo-Clip Ligating Clip Appliers for Laparoscopic Surgery

The Endo-Clip line gives surgical teams a reliable way to ligate vessels and ducts during minimally invasive procedures. Designed for use through standard trocar cannulas, these disposable appliers load and place titanium ligating clips with a single-handed action, letting the surgeon maintain control of the operative field without switching instruments.

Our current offering is the Cardinal Health Endo-Clip II Clip Applier (176657), a 10 mm disposable instrument preloaded with 20 medium-large titanium clips. Titanium is the standard clip material here for good reason: it's biocompatible, MRI-compatible, and radiolucent enough to minimize imaging artifact, making it well suited to procedures where the clips remain in the body. The pre-mounted magazine of 20 clips reduces reloading interruptions during longer cases such as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and general laparoscopic dissection.

Two questions come up most often for buyers evaluating this instrument: clip size and shaft diameter. The medium-large clip in the 176657 is intended for larger vessels and structures than a small clip would accommodate, and the 10 mm shaft passes through a matching 10 mm cannula—so confirm your port size before ordering. Because the applier is single-patient-use, it eliminates the sterilization and reprocessing burden of reusable appliers and helps maintain consistent clip performance from the first application to the last.

If you're stocking a laparoscopic tray, compare related instruments in our broader Clip Appliers & Removers range, and see the Safe-Clip options for clip removal. Surgeons building out a full minimally invasive setup may also want the Endo Catch Gold specimen retrieval pouches to complete the procedure.
