The company received expanded FDA 510(k) clearance for its Resolution Clip designed for hemostasis, endoscopic marking, closure and anchoring jejunal feeding tubes. The clip now has clearance for use in hemostasis prophylactic clipping to reduce the risk of delayed bleeding post lesion resection. This product is the only hemostasis clip in the United States cleared for this indication.
