From the Research

A Ramey clip is a type of hemostatic clip used in surgical procedures to control bleeding, as described in the most recent study 1. The Ramey clip is a medical device used to achieve hemostasis, particularly in neurosurgical procedures, and its use has become ubiquitous in cranial neurosurgery, with nearly 13.8 million cases per year globally 1. Some key points about the Ramey clip include:

  • It is used to control bleeding in surgical procedures
  • It is a type of hemostatic clip
  • It is commonly used in neurosurgical procedures, particularly in cranial neurosurgery
  • Its use has become widespread, with nearly 13.8 million cases per year globally 1 The study by 1 provides the most recent and highest quality evidence on the Ramey clip, and it highlights the importance of this device in achieving hemostasis in surgical procedures. Other studies, such as 2, 3, 4, and 5, provide additional information on the use of hemostatic clips in surgical procedures, but they do not specifically focus on the Ramey clip. Therefore, the recommendation is based on the most recent and highest quality study, which is 1.
