Ligaclip ERCA Endoscopic Clip Appliers

Surgical teams performing laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures rely on the Ligaclip ERCA line from Johnson & Johnson for consistent, secure vessel and duct ligation through a single-use, ready-to-deploy instrument. Designed for minimally invasive surgery, these disposable clip appliers eliminate the need for reloading during a case, letting surgeons place multiple clips efficiently while maintaining a clear operative field.

The Johnson & Johnson Ligaclip ERCA Endoscopic Clip Applier (ER320) carries 20 pre-loaded medium-large titanium clips and features a 10–11 mm tip diameter suited to standard laparoscopic trocar access. Titanium is the material of choice here because it is biocompatible, non-ferromagnetic, and MRI-compatible, so clips can remain permanently implanted without interfering with future imaging. The multi-fire design supports procedures such as cholecystectomy, appendectomy, and other cases where cystic ducts, arteries, and small vessels must be securely occluded.

When selecting an endoscopic clip applier, purchasers typically weigh clip size against the vessels being ligated, confirm the tip diameter matches available cannula sizing, and verify the clip count meets the demands of the intended procedure. The medium-large clip in the ER320 handles a broad range of anatomy encountered in general and gastrointestinal surgery, and its single-patient-use format supports infection-control protocols by removing the reprocessing burden associated with reusable appliers.

Facilities standardizing their surgical inventory can compare additional configurations, jaw sizes, and clip capacities across the full Ligaclip collection to match each specialty and case volume.
