: A mechanical device used to tie off bleeding sites or large polyps, often used when traditional clipping fails. Performance and Findings
: The study notes a shift toward using these techniques "interchangeably or simultaneously" to manage difficult postsurgical leaks rather than relying on a single standard approach. : The OTSC system showed a primary hemostasis
The review highlights the clinical success and safety profiles of these devices:
