NIGP 47522: Clips, Wound (Not for Use in Automatic Suturing Instruments)

NIGP 47522 Clips, Wound (Not For Use In Automatic Suturing Instruments), an Item code, encompasses surgical wound clips used in medical settings across state and local healthcare systems, correctional facilities, and emergency services. State and local governments procure these clips as consumable medical supplies for surgical wound closure in operating rooms, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments where manual or handheld application is required. The clips serve as an alternative to sutures or staples in wound management and are typically ordered in bulk quantities to support routine surgical operations and trauma response capabilities.

The source material provides no record of recent state or local contract opportunities solicited under this Item code. The absence of current procurement activity may reflect the consumable and routine nature of wound clips — state and local healthcare operations typically acquire these through standing supply contracts, cooperative purchasing agreements, or blanket purchase orders rather than through discrete RFP or IFB notices, limiting visibility in posted opportunities.
