TTS Hemoclips: Use the Clip Page, Not This Leftover URL
This URL is the map. Through-the-scope clips, defect closure, and when to reach for a cap clip already have working permalinks.
A through-the-scope clip is the everyday mechanical tool. Rotation, reopen, and zipper closure of a post-EMR defect belong on the 2025 hemoclip page. OTSC for ugly ulcer bleeding is a different permalink. Padlock versus Ovesco is a third. This leftover stub only points.
Experienced teaching points
Clinical Pearls
- TTS workhorse, zipper closure, when the clip is enough: hemoclip page.
- Fibrotic ulcer, Dieulafoy, recurrent bleed: OTSC bleeding page.
- Star-shaped cap clip versus bear-trap OTSC: Padlock comparison.
- Epinephrine is visualization, not hemostasis. Powder is a bridge.
Clinical Bottom Line
| URL | What it is for |
|---|---|
| /hemostasis-clips-effective-surgical-bleeding-control/ | Canonical TTS page. What to deploy tonight, when to close a defect, when a cap clip is smarter. |
| /hemoclips-in-endoscopy-what-you-need-to-know/ | OTSC in nonvariceal upper GI bleeding. Barkun 2023 RCT. Escalation to embolization. |
| /comprehensive-guide-on-over-the-scope-clips/ | Padlock versus Ovesco as devices. Preclinical hemostasis gap. Channel-free deployment. |
| /dieulafoys-lesion-in-the-duodenum-what-you-need-to-know/ | Mechanical-first Dieulafoy. TTS, band, or OTSC. Do not inject and leave. |
Why does this URL still exist?
WordPress shipped a short TTS mechanics stub here in 2023. Rotation, reopen, 11-16 mm jaw span, zipper closure. All of that is now on the restored hemoclip permalink. Expanding this slug again would compete with a stronger page. Keeping it as a map is the honest use.
The Pexels room photo that used to sit in the hero is not a clip. The summary card is not an endoscopic photograph either. Device stills belong on the pages that actually teach the device.
