    The Hulka spring clip offers benefits for fallopian tube occlusion. An improved applicator was developed due to issues with existing devices, with a similar version also created for minilaparotomy procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Surgical Devices
    • Reproductive Health

    Background:

    • The Hulka spring clip is a recognized method for female sterilization.
    • Existing clip applicators presented usability challenges for healthcare providers.
    • Minimally invasive surgical techniques are increasingly important in gynecological procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on the advantages of the Hulka spring clip for fallopian tube occlusion.
    • To introduce an improved applicator designed to overcome difficulties with existing devices.
    • To describe a novel applicator suitable for minilaparotomy procedures.

    Main Methods:

    • Design and development of an improved applicator for the Hulka spring clip.
    • Evaluation of the improved applicator's functionality.

  • Design of a separate applicator for use in minilaparotomy.

    • Main Results:

    • The improved applicator addresses previously experienced difficulties with clip application.
    • A functional applicator for minilaparotomy procedures has been successfully designed.
    • The Hulka spring clip, with improved application tools, remains a viable option for tubal occlusion.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed applicator enhances the clinical utility of the Hulka spring clip.
    • The new applicator design facilitates easier and potentially safer tubal occlusion.
    • The availability of a minilaparotomy-specific applicator expands procedural options for female sterilization.
