Abstract
- The mean forces required to dislodge two types of endoscopic ligation clips from both porcine cystic ducts and silicone tubing were quantitated. The two types of endoscopic clips were EndoClip II and Ligaclip ERCA. Following application of the clips, the force required to dislodge the clips in both a perpendicular direction and a longitudinal direction was determined. The mean levels of force required to dislodge the EndoClip II clips in both directions were significantly (p < or = 0.01) greater than those required to dislodge the Ligaclip ERCA clips.
