The LOCKADO™ was designed by Micro-Tech to stop bleeding more efffciently.
The main reason for this is the increased compression pressure. Thanks to the improved closure strength, the clip is suitable for mucosal and submucosal defects smaller than 30 mm, bleeding ulcers and polyps smaller than 15 mm. In addition, the clips serve as a complementary method for closing luminal perforations smaller than 20 mm in the GI that can be treated without surgery. The hold is enhanced by ten teeth, six of which are positioned laterally. They ensure optimal containment and support of the tissue. Multiple positionings before settling allows for more precision and ffexibility. The clip segment protruding into the lumen is particularly short, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the opposite tissue.
