Magnesium (Mg) alloy clips offer a biodegradable option with good mechanical properties for use in hemostasis, but their deformation can lead to stress that increases corrosion rates.
Two designs of R-shape clips—one with staggered teeth and another with no teeth—were analyzed using finite element analysis and tested for corrosion and clamping performance.
Results showed that the staggered teeth clip had lower stress on blood vessels, better maintained structural integrity after clamping, and demonstrated higher pressure resistance, indicating strong potential for clinical use as biodegradable tissue clips.
