  • Patent number: 8197500
    Abstract: An aneurysm clip has a biological membrane and a metal clip. The membrane is harvested from an animal, crosslinked, and then has its antigens minimized. The membrane also has an active layer coupled thereto. The metal clip has a first clip bar and a second clip bar that are attached to each in a biased manner, a first clip arm that extends perpendicularly from the second clip bar, and a second clip arm that extends perpendicularly from the first clip bar. A first end of the biological membrane is coupled to the first clip arm, and a second end of the biological membrane is coupled to the second clip arm in a manner that defines a receiving portion.
