Abstract:
A surgical clamp is provided that is applied through a laparoscopic port and is used for clamping off a portion of an organ. The surgical clamp comprises an elongated flexible bioabsorbable polymer band laced with a hemostatic agent. The band has a proximal end and a distal end. A bioabsorbable polymer tie secures in place the proximal end of the band to the distal end of the band. A conductive wire snare is provided to cut and cauterize a target.
