## Indications for use
The NiTi Laparoscopic Compression Anastomosis Clip (LapCAC) is intended to be used to facilitate side-to-side anastomosis of the alimentary tract yielding an inverted serosa-to-serosa anastomosis. Once wound strength is sufficient to maintain the anastomosis, the NiTi Clip is passed from the body. The LapCAC is indicated for open, minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures
