Olympus Launches Single-Use Hemostasis Clip

Olympus offers a new hemostasis clip that provides 360° rotation and an intuitive one-step deployment to GI endoscopists. The clip enables control over placement with three different sizes to accommodate a variety of closure applications.¹

The Retentia HemoClip offers a variety of advantages to users:

• Provided in arm lengths of 9 mm, 12 mm, and 16 mm to accommodate a variety of closure applications
• Its short tail length helps with visualization of the target site, potentially facilitating the placement of multiple clips compared to long tail lengths
• Sheath markings are designed to aid in insertion and extraction
• The intuitive handle design enables the clip to be deployed in a single step

“The Retentia HemoClip is another example of Olympus’ commitment to understanding the needs of clinicians and addressing them, and for this reason among others, we are excited to bring this solution to the market,” said Mike Callaghan, global VP and general manager for EndoTherapy, Olympus Corp. of the Americas. “As procedural needs within GI endoscopy continue to evolve, so too must our solutions. Features like ease in deployment and a broad range of size options have become imperative for procedure success, and we’re proud to deliver on these improvements for GI endoscopists.”

The device joins the company’s EndoTherapy portfolio, which provides physicians with advanced solutions for procedures such as endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). EMR and ESD are techniques for removing cancerous or other abnormal tissues from the digestive tract.
