Bharat Surgical manufactures and supplies reusable laparoscopic clip applicators in 5 mm and 10 mm configurations for compatible metal and polymer ligating clips. Published options include standard titanium-clip applicators, Hem-o-lok-type applicators, medium and large clip configurations, straight and curved jaws, single-action models and three-in-one sets. Clip applicators are clip-system-specific instruments. Hospitals must verify the clip manufacturer, product family, clip size, cartridge code, applicator jaw and shaft diameter before purchase.
A laparoscopic clip applicator is a long-shaft manual instrument designed to hold and apply a compatible ligating clip during minimally invasive surgery.
The applicator consists of a clip-specific jaw, shaft, actuation mechanism and handle. Its jaws must match the clip’s material, size, geometry and loading system. Similar-looking clips from different manufacturers should not be assumed to fit the same applicator.
Clip applicators are clip-system-specific instruments. Hospitals must verify the clip manufacturer, product family, clip size, cartridge code, applicator jaw and shaft diameter before purchase.
Every clip applicator must be matched with the exact clip brand, size and cartridge configuration for which it has been designed.

The standard detailed model is listed as a reusable 5 mm × 330 mm clip applicator with a straight jaw for a medium-large titanium clip. The broader Bharat Surgical laparoscopic clip-applicator listing also references 5 mm and 10 mm instruments with straight or curved jaws.
A clip applicator should be purchased against a specific clip system—not simply by shaft diameter.
Confirm all of the following:
Do not combine an applicator and clip based only on labels such as “medium,” “large,” “LT300” or “Hem-o-lok type.”
| Selection factor | Metal-clip applicator | Polymer locking-clip applicator |
|---|---|---|
| Clip material | Titanium, stainless steel or another specified metal | Non-absorbable polymer on applicable systems |
| Jaw geometry | Designed for a particular metal clip and cartridge | Designed for the bosses, hinge and lock of a particular polymer clip |
| Published Bharat options | Titanium medium-large clip applicator; hemoclip/ligating models | 5 mm and 10 mm Hem-o-lok-type listings |
| Size terminology | May use medium, medium-large or large | May use medium, medium-large, large or extra-large |
| Interchangeability | Not interchangeable across all metal systems | Not interchangeable with metal clips or unverified polymer systems |
| Procurement requirement | Clip and jaw codes | Clip and jaw codes |
Teleflex identifies Hem-o-lok® as a proprietary polymer-locking ligation system with clip-specific endoscopic applicators. This supports the need to verify exact system compatibility rather than treating “Hem-o-lok” as a generic size description. See the Teleflex polymer ligation system information.
Hem-o-lok and Weck are trademarks or registered trademarks of Teleflex Incorporated or its affiliates. References on this page do not imply affiliation or manufacturer authorization. Bharat Surgical must confirm compatibility for its selected applicator model.
| Selection factor | 5 mm applicator | 10 mm applicator |
|---|---|---|
| Published variants | Standard titanium and polymer-clip types | Polymer, LT300 and three-jaw sets |
| Access port | Compatible 5 mm or larger port | Compatible 10 mm or larger port |
| Clip capacity | Determined by clip system and jaw—not shaft alone | Determined by clip system and jaw—not shaft alone |
| Published length | 330 mm on selected model | Approx. 330 mm on selected range |

| Reducer requirement | Model-specific | Not normally for a 10 mm instrument in a 10 mm port; verify |
| Final selection | Clip code and port compatibility | Clip code and port compatibility |
A smaller shaft does not automatically mean compatibility with a particular smaller clip, and a larger shaft does not define the clip capacity.
| Feature | Straight jaw | Curved jaw |

“Single action” describes the mechanism; it does not establish compatibility with every clip carrying a similar size number.
Bharat Surgical lists:
Before ordering a set, obtain a component-wise BOQ showing:
A “set of three” should not be purchased without identifying what each of the three components fits.
Terms such as LT300 and LT400 usually identify a clip or applicator family rather than an instrument length. Buyers should not interpret these numbers as 300 mm or 400 mm without documented confirmation.
For each LT-labelled model, confirm:
“Hemoclip,” “ligating clip” and “titanium clip” are broad descriptions. Different clip systems can have different leg profiles, wire cross-sections, cartridges and applicator jaws.
Teleflex states that its Hemoclip applicators are designed for exclusive use with corresponding Hemoclip ligating clips. This is an example of why clips and applicators should be matched through manufacturer documentation rather than visual similarity. See Teleflex metal ligation system compatibility.
| Component | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Clip applicator | Reusable or single-use instrument that holds and closes the clip | |
| Ligating clip | Implantable clip supplied in a defined material and size | |
| Clip cartridge | Holds clips for loading into a compatible applicator | |
| Applicator jaw | Instrument component designed for the clip geometry | |
| Handle and shaft | Transmit manual movement to the jaw |
These components must be documented as a compatible system.
| Feature | Ligating clip applicator | Bulldog clamp applicator |
|---|---|---|
| Applied item | Ligating clip | Bulldog clamp |
| Published Bharat variants | 5 mm, 10 mm and multiple clip families | 10 mm Bulldog applicator listed |
| Jaw geometry | Clip-specific | Clamp-specific |
| Applied device | Typically remains according to its approved intended use | Clamp characteristics are model-specific |
| Interchangeability | Cannot apply a Bulldog clamp unless designed for it | Cannot apply standard ligating clips |
Bulldog applicators should have a separate product code and compatibility chart.
Verify:
Never force an applicator through an incompatible trocar valve.
Before requesting a quotation, provide:
Inspect:
An applicator with misaligned jaws, damaged retention features, excessive play or an unreliable actuation mechanism should be removed from service.
Reusable clip applicators have jaw recesses and mechanical joints that require validated cleaning.
General considerations include:
Bharat Surgical can support enquiries for:
Hospitals should provide a photograph of the existing clip cartridge and its product label when requesting a replacement applicator.
Dealers and distributors can enquire about:
"Reusable laparoscopic clip applicator, [5 mm/10 mm] shaft, [required working length], [straight/curved] clip-specific jaw, compatible exclusively with [clip manufacturer, family, size and product code], stainless-steel construction, manual [standard/single-action] mechanism, supplied with technical documentation and product-specific IFU."
Do not prepare a BOQ stating only “medium clip applicator” or “Hem-o-lok applicator.”
Compatibility must be confirmed against the selected clip system and product code.

Colour may identify a clip size within a specific brand, but colour alone does not confirm cross-brand compatibility.
Clip inclusion is quotation-specific. Request separate confirmation of applicator, clips and cartridges.
The clip applicators covered on this page are mechanical instruments. No electrosurgical connection is listed.
