Abstract: Provided herein is a clip for organ retraction or organ exposure during minimal invasive surgery wherein the clip comprises a body made of a biocompatible material wherein the body comprises at least two generally opposing first and second segments that form a jaw defined by a separation between the two segments; wherein the two segments each comprise distal and proximal ends wherein the proximal ends may be directly connected or connected through one or more segments within the body of the clip and wherein the clip defines at least four configurations a resting configuration, an open configuration, a grabbing configuration, and a sliding configuration.

Abstract: A surgical retracting device includes a linking element and support element, characterized in that the linking element is a thread (2) and in that support element (1) includes a first and second face and at least three holes in which the thread passes through (6, 7, 8), the support element (1) and thread (2) being connected by a first knot (18) on the first face (A) and by a second knot (19) on the second face (B). A process for manufacturing the aforementioned device is also described. The device is useful in surgical operations for retaining or retracting biological or synthetic tissue, in particular during mini-invasive operations.
