Abstract
A clip device () for hemostasis includes a clip having a plurality of arms () each having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein each of the arms are spaced apart from each other when the clip is in an open position and adjacent to each other when the clip is in a closed position. At least one lumen () is disposed within a first of the plurality of arms and spans from the proximal end to the distal end of the first arm. At least one outlet bore is formed in the distal end of the first arm. In use, the distal ends of the plurality of arms are adapted to engage tissue in the closed position, and a sclerosing agent is adapted to be delivered to tissue via the lumen and an outlet bore formed in the first arm. Such technique facilitates treatment of the underlying bleeding using a combination of mechanical and sclerotherapy approaches.
