Intended Use

Lapro-Clip™ absorbable ligating clip cartridges are intended for use as absorbable ligatures. Lapro-Clip™ absorbable ligating clip cartridges are radiotransparent and will not interfere with interpretations of postoperative X-ray, CT, or MRI scans. The Lapro-Clip™ absorbable ligating clip cartridge may be used for ligation of the cystic artery and cystic duct and other general ligation.

Device Story

The Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier is a surgical instrument used to deliver absorbable ligating clips. The device consists of a reusable applier (33cm length, 10mm shaft diameter) and single-use cartridges containing clips molded from polyglycolic acid and polyglyconate. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings, the device is used to ligate vessels or ducts during surgery. The applier mechanically deploys the clip from the cartridge onto the target tissue. The clips are radiotransparent, allowing for clear postoperative imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI). The device provides a secure ligation, aiding in hemostasis or duct closure, which benefits the patient by facilitating surgical procedures while minimizing interference with diagnostic imaging.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing only. In-vitro testing included visual examination, firing force, cartridge latch depression, trigger return force, leak resistance, barrel rotation torque, clip formation/deployment, and lifecycle reliability testing. Sterilization and cleaning validation were updated per FDA guidance.

Technological Characteristics

Reusable surgical clip applier with 33cm shaft length and 10mm diameter. Clips are molded from polyglycolic acid (outer body) and polyglyconate (inner track). Sensing/actuation is mechanical. Sterilization and cleaning validated per FDA guidance for reprocessing. Device is manual, non-powered, and standalone.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as absorbable ligatures for the cystic artery, cystic duct, and other general ligation procedures in patients requiring surgical ligation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

SUMMARY COMPARING THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUBJECT AND PREDICATE DEVICES: The proposed Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier manufactured with a longer shaft length and tested to update sterilization, cleaning and lifecycle testing to current FDA Draft Guidance for "Processing/Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings" is equivalent to Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Standard and Short Clip Applier (K925602) in terms of the following technological characteristics: - Indication । - Raw materials । - Performance characteristics - - -Biocompatibility - -Stability - Life Cycle Reliability - Biocompatibility studies were conducted on existing Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Standard and Short Clip Applier (K925602). The proposed device contains same materials as predicate. Sterilization and cleaning studies for the proposed Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier and predicate device Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Standard and Short Clip Applier (K925602) have been performed. Performance studies were conducted to demonstrate that the proposed device, the Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. In-vitro testing that supports the intended use of this device includes: In-vitro Testina: - Visual Examination . - Firing Force - 트 Cartridge Latch Depression - Trigger Return Force ■ - . General Safety and Efficacy {5}------------------------------------------------ - Leak Resistance - Barrel Rotation Torque - Clip Formation/Deployment - = Lifecycle reliability test In-vivo testing was not performed for this change. The clip cartridge with clips is sold separately and was previously tested in original 510(k) for clip applier and clip cartridge (K925602). This modification had no impact to clip cartridge or clips. CONCLUSION: The results of testing demonstrate that the modified the Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Long Clip Applier is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed Lapro-Clip™ Auto Suture™ Reusable Clip Applier (K925602).
