What is it indicated for?

Weck Auto Endo5 Hem-o-Jok ML automatic endoscopic ligating clip appliers are indicated for use as delivery devices for Hem-o-Jok ML non-absorbable polymer ligating clips. These appliers are designed for use with 5/5.5mm cannulas.

Hem-o-lok ligating clips are intended for use in procedures involving ligation of vessels or tissue structures. Surgeons should apply the appropriate size clip for the size of the vessel or tissue structure to be ligated so that the clip completely encompasses the vessel or tissue structure.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
