A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to apply small atraumatic clips (not included) for the ligation of blood vessels, or similar tubular anatomy, mainly to prevent and/or stop bleeding (i.e., haemostasis) during an open-surgery procedure.

The device is typically a metallic instrument with flat, curved ends to hold and deliver the clips (e.g., forceps-like); implantable clips are not included. This is a reusable device after sterilization.
