Micro Vessel Clips and Nerve Approximators
In microvascular and nerve surgery, the two ends being joined must be held still and close together while the surgeon sutures them. Medfort micro vessel clips and approximators do exactly this, with gentle, even pressure that does not damage the vessel or nerve (codes SI-010701 to SI-010718).
Where they are used
They are used in free flap surgery, replantation of fingers and limbs, nerve repair and grafting, vascular anastomosis, and lymphatic surgery.
Our range
- Vessel clips: Biemer clips, and clip applying forceps with or without lock
- Approximators: Biemer-Muller (straight, and angled wide and narrow) and Muller
- Nerve approximator, and approximator complete with key
Material and finish
These fine instruments are made from surgical grade stainless steel (or titanium, where stated), with precisely aligned tips that meet evenly. Handles are designed for a light, balanced pencil grip, so the surgeon can make small, controlled movements under loupes or a microscope. Each instrument is inspected under magnification before it is packed.
How to choose
Single clips temporarily close one vessel. Approximators hold two vessel or nerve ends together on a sliding bar, which lets the surgeon turn them for suturing the back wall. Choose the clip size to match the vessel diameter. Angled approximators help in tight spaces.
Quality control
Micro instruments are inspected under magnification. We check that the tips meet exactly, that jaws and blades are aligned, that springs open evenly, and that the surfaces are free of burrs that could catch fine sutures or tissue. Each instrument is passivated, cleaned and packed with tip protection.
Handling micro instruments
Micro instruments are precision tools, and a single drop or knock can bend a tip out of line. Pass them carefully, lay them in a dedicated micro tray rather than in a general set, and keep tip protectors on whenever they are not in use. We can inspect, realign and recondition Medfort micro instruments if they are damaged.
Care and sterilization
Handle micro instruments individually and protect the tips with silicone tip guards. Clean them gently, preferably by hand or in an ultrasonic cleaner, and never with abrasive pads. Dry them fully and keep them in a micro instrument tray during sterilization. They are suitable for steam sterilization.
