Weck Horizon Metal Ligation System: Combines titanium clips with easy-load cartridges

Weck Horizon Metal Ligation System - Clips

The Horizon System provides surgeons with a strong, secure clip coupled with an efficient, convenient easy-load cartridge system.


The Horizon Clip

The preformed chevron shape of the Horizon Clip engulfs tissue with precise tip-to-tip closure. Heart-shaped wire is designed to give each clip a firm grip on vessels, while the triangulated cross-section of the clip leg maximizes surface-to-surface contact between clip and jaw, practically eliminating clip fallout.

The Horizon Cartridge

The design of the Horizon Cartridge creates a frictionless one-hand load. Horizon Cartridges are color-coded to match appliers and adhesive backing allows convenient placement of the cartridge to any sterile area.

Weck Horizon Metal Ligation System - Appliers


Our high quality, hand-crafted reusable appliers are designed to give surgeons solid tactile feedback upon clip closure. Applier color coding matches the color of the ligating clip cartridge with which it is to be used. Horizon Appliers are available to meet manual ligation needs for both open surgical applications and laparoscopic needs.

Horizon Appliers have been designed for exclusive use with Horizon Ligating Clips.

Weck Ligating Clips are not intended for use as a contraceptive tubal occlusion device.
Weck Ligating Clips are contraindicated for use in ligating the renal artery during laparoscopic donor nephrectomies.
