Endoscopic Clips for Colonic Interventions: Supporting Safety in Lower GI Procedures
In the colon, endoscopic clips support a wide range of therapeutic procedures. They are commonly used after polyp removal, EMR/ESD procedures, or to manage colonic injuries.
Because the colon has a thinner wall compared to other GI structures, the risk of perforation is higher. Clips provide mechanical reinforcement that prevents leakage and accelerates healing.
Colonic bleeding—whether from diverticular disease, ulcers, or post-polypectomy sites—can also be controlled effectively using clips. Their precise placement and strong grasp ensure complete hemostasis.
Clips in the colon may remain attached for weeks before naturally detaching and passing safely through the digestive system. Their presence is well tolerated, and complications are rare.
By offering rapid, reliable tissue closure, endoscopic clips are essential in maintaining procedural safety in lower GI endoscopy.
