Use of a novel dual-action clip for closure of complex endoscopic resection defects

Post written by Mike Tzuhen Wei, MD, from Stanford University, Stanford, California, and Veterans Affairs Palo Alto, Palo Alto, California, USA. In our presentation, we demonstrate the use of a dual-action clip and clips with atraumatic teeth in facilitating the closure of endoscopic submucosal dissection defects. We found that the dual-action clip (Micro-Tech Endoscopy USA, Ann …
