Hemostasis Control: Managing Bleeding in Critical Care

In 2025, the use of hemostasis clips has become a primary strategy for managing gastrointestinal bleeding and other internal hemorrhages without the need for invasive surgery. Endoscopists now use specialized "hemoclips" that can be deployed through an endoscope to "zip" shut a bleeding ulcer or a small tear in the digestive tract. These clips are designed with rotatable heads and adjustable jaw openings, allowing the clinician to grab and compress the bleeding site with pinpoint accuracy. The ability to achieve immediate mechanical hemostasis—rather than relying solely on thermal or chemical methods—provides a more secure and predictable outcome for the patient. As endoscopy technology continues to advance, these clips are being used in increasingly complex therapeutic procedures, such as the closure of large mucosal defects.
