Usage Guidelines
Load the BD Autoclip Applier with a cartridge of 9 mm clips following the manufacturers instructions. Align the wound edges carefully to ensure proper tissue approximation. Place the applier perpendicular to the wound and gently compress to deploy a clip, securing the wound edges. Continue along the incision line at appropriate spacing intervals. To remove clips after healing, use the BD Autoclip Remover by applying gentle upward pressure until the clip releases. Dispose of used clips in accordance with biohazard waste protocols.
