cerebral aneurysm clips

Cerebral aneurysm clips are small metal devices used by neurosurgeons to treat a brain aneurysm—a weak, bulging area in a brain blood vessel that can rupture and cause bleeding. The clip is carefully placed at the neck of the aneurysm to cut off blood flow into the abnormal pouch, preventing rupture or stopping bleeding if it has already occurred. Made from biocompatible materials, these clips are designed to stay securely in place permanently, helping to reduce the risk of further brain hemorrhage and improve patient outcomes.
