Clip Turcica: a new apparatus for experimental ovarian ischemia and reperfusion model in rats

Fertil Steril. 2005 Jul;84(1):219-20. doi: 10.1016/j.fertnstert.2005.03.024.

Abstract

Clip Turcica is a unique, malleable, aluminum apparatus that facilitates holding and release of the adnexa during a period of experimental ovarian ischemia and reperfusion, without anesthesia and laparotomy. The simple opening and closing mechanism of the Clip Turcica allows easier, quicker, and safer application compared with previous methods.
