Product Description

Multiple-fire clip appliers are efficient for high-volume sequential ligation. But there is a different clinical situation — the single critical vessel, the carefully dissected hepatic duct, the cystic artery confirmed clean and clear — where what the surgeon needs is not 20 clips advancing automatically but a single, precisely positioned clip placed with complete deliberate control. This is where the single clip applier earns its place on the instrument tray. Ethicon Ligaclip Extra is the single-clip system in the Ethicon Ligaclip family, covering both open and laparoscopic applications with a multi-patient use applier handle and disposable clip cartridges. Each cartridge contains a stack of 10 clips; the surgeon loads a fresh cartridge onto the applier handle and applies clips one by one, with each application requiring a deliberate reload from the cartridge — providing the manual pause that encourages deliberate individual clip placement rather than rapid sequential firing. The Ligaclip Extra clips carry the same titanium construction and patented groove design as the Multiple Clip Applier range — lateral and transverse grooves on the inner jaw faces that interlocked with the formed clip, preventing rotation or migration after application. The titanium clips are MRI-compatible, radiopaque on fluoroscopy, and inert in tissue. The open surgery applier handles come in multiple shaft lengths (5.75", 7.5", 10.5") and tip angles (straight, angled, right-angled) to reach different anatomical locations from the open operative field. The laparoscopic versions come with fixed 5mm shaft diameters for passage through standard 5mm trocar ports. For surgical supply distributors, Ligaclip Extra sits alongside the Ligaclip MCA in the catalogue, covering the complementary single-application use cases where the MCA's auto-advance mechanism is not the right tool. Sara Wellness exports Ethicon surgical clip products internationally.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The Ligaclip MCA (Multiple Clip Applier) is a preloaded single-patient-use applier that automatically advances a new clip after each application, allowing rapid sequential ligation without reloading. The Ligaclip Extra is a multi-patient-use handle with individual 10-clip disposable cartridges, where each clip application requires the clip to be loaded from the cartridge individually, providing a deliberate, one-at-a-time clip application. The MCA is preferred for high-volume sequential ligations; the Extra is preferred for careful individual vessel ligation where deliberate placement is the priority.

Ligaclip Extra clips are available in Small (LT100/LT200), Medium (LT300), Medium/Large (LT400), and Large (LT500) sizes. Each size has a specific jaw dimension matched to the vessel diameter range it is intended for. Small clips are used for fine vessels (under 3mm), medium clips for standard open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy vessels, medium/large for larger pelvic or abdominal vessels, and large for major hepatic, mesenteric, or pelvic vessels.

The open Ligaclip Extra applier handles are available in multiple configurations including straight tip, angled jaw, and right-angle jaw orientations, in multiple shaft lengths ranging from 5.75" to 10.5". The right-angle configuration is particularly useful for placing clips on posterior vascular pedicles and around structures where the clip must be fed behind a vessel from a perpendicular approach, such as in hepatic hilar dissection and retroperitoneal vascular work.

The Ligaclip Extra handle is a multi-patient reusable device designed to be sterilised between uses. The handle components should be cleaned, inspected, and steam autoclaved according to the manufacturer's recommended sterilisation parameters. The disposable clip cartridges are single-use and should not be resterilised. The applier mechanism should be inspected before each use for smooth functioning — the ratchet mechanism, the cartridge seat, and the jaw closure should be checked before loading a new cartridge.

Each disposable Ligaclip Extra clip cartridge contains 10 titanium clips of the selected size. After loading the cartridge onto the applier handle, the clips are fed one at a time into the jaw as each application is made. When the cartridge is empty after 10 applications, a new cartridge is loaded for subsequent clip placements. Cartridges are identified by a code that indicates the clip size and are not interchangeable between applier handle sizes — confirm cartridge-to-handle compatibility when ordering.

3M Electrosurgical Patient Return Electrode Plate

3M Electrosurgical Patient Return Electrode Plate

The difference between a routine electrosurgical procedure and one with complications can come down to something as mundane as whether the return electrode maintained proper skin contact for the entire case. Nobody thinks about the grounding pad until it fails. Then suddenly everyone is thinking about it. The 3M Electrosurgical Patient Return Electrode Plate is engineered specifically to be the piece of equipment that nobody has to think about twice during surgery. This is a disposable, single-use dispersive return electrode designed to safely return electrosurgical energy from the patient's body back to the electrosurgical generator. The pad provides a large conductive surface area that disperses current over a broad contact zone, minimizing heat concentration and reducing the risk of patient burns at the electrode site. That broad dispersion is what separates a properly designed return electrode from the kind that causes thermal injuries. The conductive adhesive is water-based hydrophilic gel that flows uniformly into skin crevices and irregularities, maximizing skin-to-pad contact and ensuring reliable electrical conductivity throughout the procedure. The hydrogel formulation provides strong adhesion without leaving residue on the skin after removal, which matters considerably when dealing with friable or sensitive patient skin. The non-conductive border adhesive surrounds the conductive area to maintain electrical isolation and prevent edge burns. Split (dual foil) electrode designs are compatible with electrosurgical generators equipped with Contact Quality Monitoring Systems (CQMS), including all major monitoring platforms like REM, ARM, NESSY, and PSS. The split design allows the generator to continuously monitor pad-to-patient contact quality and alert surgical staff immediately if impedance rises or contact is compromised. This active monitoring significantly reduces the risk of alternate-site burns, which can occur when the return path is inadequate. The foam backing material is lightweight, conformable, and biocompatible, tested negative for cytotoxicity, skin sensitization, and acute cutaneous irritation. Scalloped edges improve adherence and reduce lifting at pad borders. The pad is designed for universal patient use where full skin contact and a suitable placement site can be obtained, accommodating both adult and pediatric applications depending on size selected. Clinically, these electrodes are used in any surgical procedure involving electrosurgical cutting or coagulation. Common applications include general surgery, gynecological procedures, orthopedic surgery, ENT procedures, and plastic surgery where monopolar electrosurgery is employed. For distributors supplying operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital surgical departments, electrosurgical return electrodes are high-turnover disposable supplies with predictable consumption rates tied directly to surgical volume. They are essential inventory for any facility performing electrosurgery. Sara Wellness has been exporting surgical consumables and operating room supplies from India for 15 years. Electrosurgical return electrodes are safety-critical devices where material quality, adhesive performance, and conductive gel composition directly impact patient outcomes. We source from manufacturers whose production standards meet international specifications for medical-grade materials and electrosurgical safety. We work one-on-one with every buyer. MOQs are flexible because we know that a distributor adding a surgical consumables line is in a different position from an established wholesaler managing regular hospital supply contracts.

Trupace Cardiac Pacing Wire

Trupace Cardiac Pacing Wire

Open-heart surgery is already the most consequential thing a surgical team will do on any given day. Everything that goes into that procedure — every wire, every suture, every disposable — carries the same weight of consequence, even if the price tag doesn't reflect it. The temporary pacing wire is one of those quiet essentials. It keeps the heart beating to the right rhythm in the hours immediately after surgery, and then it is removed. Simple, critical, unremarkable to everyone except the patient. Trupace, made by Sutures India, is a temporary cardiac pacing wire built for exactly this role. The conductor is a braided stainless steel multifilament at 0.3mm gauge, insulated along most of its length with nylon — specifically polyamide 6, a coating chosen for its consistent electrical insulation properties and biocompatibility. The distal un-insulated end is crimped to a curved needle for fixation to the myocardium. The proximal end connects via a straight breakpoint needle that exits through the chest wall and connects to the external pacemaker. The breakpoint needle design allows clean removal without requiring wire cutters on the skin-exit end. The 60cm working length covers the standard anatomical requirements for both atrial and ventricular placement during thoracic procedures. Cardiac surgeons performing CABG, valve repair, or any open-heart case where temporary epicardial pacing may be needed will recognise this configuration immediately. For surgical supply importers, hospital procurement managers, and regional distributors who source cardiac surgical consumables, Trupace comes from a credible, established Indian manufacturer. Sutures India has been producing surgical materials for decades and supplies into both the domestic hospital market and international export channels. The product arrives in boxes of 12, individually sterile packed, ethylene oxide sterilised, with the shelf life and documentation expected for cardiac surgical use. Sara Wellness supplies Trupace and other Sutures India surgical consumables to buyers across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Cardiac surgical supply chains in these regions need a supplier who understands clinical product requirements — not just logistics. We know the difference between a pacing wire and a suture even if neither of us is in the operating theatre, and we know which documentation your market's regulatory authority needs before the product can move. Pricing is quoted on volume. MOQs are flexible for buyers combining multiple cardiac surgical SKUs in one order. If you're building or restocking a cardiac surgery consumable line for a hospital group or distributor network, we're a straightforward conversation away from a quote.

Covidien Appose Disposable Skin Stapler

Covidien Appose Disposable Skin Stapler

Wound closure after a surgical incision should be as fast and reliable as the procedure that preceded it. Placing sutures closes the wound but adds time and the potential for inconsistency. Skin stapling does the same job in less time, with consistent closure geometry that does not depend on knot tension or stitch spacing. For the long incisions of general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and Caesarean section, the skin stapler has become a standard part of the closure routine. The Covidien Appose ULC is one of the most widely recognised disposable skin staplers in the market. The design is built around an easy-squeeze trigger that fires one staple per press, an ejector spring that automatically disengages the staple to facilitate instrument removal in any direction, and a clear view of the tissue being stapled through the transparent cartridge window. The slim body reduces the visual obstruction of the wound site during placement. Two staple sizes are available. Regular staples are 4.8mm wide with a 3.4mm leg length for standard wound closure. Wide staples are 6.5mm wide with a 4.1mm leg length for thicker skin or situations where wider tissue bridge coverage is preferred. Both are made from stainless steel. The stapler is single-use and sterile from the packaging. There is no activation step — remove from packaging, position, fire. Each unit comes pre-loaded with 35 staples, which is sufficient for the majority of surgical incision closures in a single unit. For surgical supply distributors and hospital procurement teams, Covidien Appose is a recognised brand that surgical departments request specifically. Box-of-12 purchasing is the standard institutional format. Sara Wellness exports Covidien surgical products to distributors internationally, with 15 years of experience in medical device export documentation and logistics.
