In molecular biology, ligation refers to the joining of two DNA fragments through the formation of a phosphodiester bond. An enzyme known as a ligase catalyzes the ligation reaction. In the cell, ligases repair single and double strand breaks that occur during DNA replication. In the laboratory, DNA ligase is used during molecular cloning to join DNA fragments of inserts with vectors – carrier DNA molecules that will replicate target fragments in host organisms.

FAQs
The jaws first hold and position a clip around the selected vessel, duct, or tubular structure. Squeezing the handle brings the jaws together, compressing the clip until it locks around the tissue. This mechanical closure creates occlusion without the knot tying or suture placement required for conventional ligation.
The clip must be positioned around an appropriate target structure so closure provides effective occlusion without including unsuitable surrounding tissue. Careful tissue selection supports hemostasis and helps manage ducts or other tubular structures during division. It also contributes to precise placement, limiting unnecessary manipulation within the operative field.
Mechanical clipping replaces the steps of passing a suture and tying a knot with direct placement and closure of a locking clip. This can support efficient management of anatomical structures while reducing operative manipulation. The approach remains dependent on accurate positioning and controlled handle use to achieve the intended occlusion.
Controlled movement helps the operator align the jaws with the selected structure before closing the handle. Precise positioning matters because the clip must surround the intended tissue and lock in place effectively. Good instrument control therefore supports secure hemostasis, accurate tissue division, and reduced manipulation of nearby anatomy.
The operator identifies the vessel, duct, or other tubular structure requiring occlusion, selects the intended tissue, and brings the instrument jaws into position around it. After confirming alignment, the handle is closed to compress and lock the clip. The instrument supports either open or minimally invasive operative workflows.
They are used during open and minimally invasive procedures when surgeons need to control blood vessels, ducts, or other tubular anatomical structures. Applications include achieving hemostasis, supporting tissue division, and managing structures efficiently during an operation. Their value lies in combining precise placement with a closure method that avoids sutures and knot tying.
