Loading Cone only for RUDD Hemorrhoid Ligator

Clinical Application

This loading cone is an accessory used during rubber-band ligation procedures to prepare and seat elastic ligation bands on the applicator barrel prior to deployment. It is intended for use in outpatient proctology and minor-procedure settings where a Rudd-style hemorrhoid ligator is used to treat internal hemorrhoids by placing a constricting band at the hemorrhoid base.

Design & Configuration

The tapered cone geometry facilitates controlled placement of a ligation band onto the ligator barrel and maintains band position during transfer into the anal canal. A smooth, flared mouth and polished interior enable reliable capture and release of elastic bands without snags, helping to reduce loading time and minimize manipulation during the procedure. As a dedicated replacement cone, it is configured to mate with the Rudd pattern applicator for consistent alignment.
