Abstract
Hemostatic clips and surgical strips made of deformable and preferably absorbable material have opposite elongate portions readily locked or secured together when clamped over a vessel or other bodily part. The elongate portions have opposite facing surfaces provided with a plurality of flexible members comprised of Velcro-like or similar entangling configurations, which become entangled when the surfaces are pressed together over the vessel or other bodily part. Other configurations include one or more strips of deformable material having surfaces provided with flexible members capable of entanglement to form clips or bands useful in a variety of different surgical procedures.
