These clips enable clinicians to monitor the progression of lesions, mark tumor locations in patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and guide pathologists in identifying areas of interest during specimen examination. They are available in various shapes and materials, typically measuring between 2 and 3 mm. The clips can be placed with or without accompanying packing materials, such as collagen, hydrogel, or starch, to enhance their visibility and effectiveness.
