[quote user="Liz Barton"]I can’t remember the name of it, but I used one which looked like this for vessels <7mm, which was rubbish! Most of them oozed so ended up ligating with suture material as well. I’ve been put off using them now[/quote]

We used the LDS ones and they were brilliant - made splenectomies so quick, though occasionally we did get a dodgy one which didn't work so well. Unfortunately as somebody else mentioned they don't seem to be available any more and we haven't managed to find a suitable alternative.

Does this mean an MRI is contraindicated in the future?

They were brilliant but are off the market now permanently. Autosuture LDS. Always loved teh noise they made when firing off. We cauterise now since we have the gear. If I didn't I'd consider the VetDirect Weck staplers - very cost effective - for relatively smaller vessels I think...

Does anyone use ligation clips for things surgery such as splenectomy? I'm looking for recommendations for which type to go for

[/quote]yes we use them and have for years, are different sizes, each size needs different size applicator, much faster than tying multiple ligatures. Will check make and supplier at work on mondsy.

I have heard that Ethicon Ligaclips are good, when I got keen on using them, a long time ago, but in the end, the cost proved prohibitive.
