Clinical Application
Designed for rubber-band ligation of internal hemorrhoids, this instrument permits controlled capture of hemorrhoidal tissue and guided placement of elastic bands under direct visualization (anoscopy). It is used in office, ambulatory surgery center, and hospital settings for outpatient hemorrhoid management, allowing clinicians to isolate the prolapsing mucosa while minimizing slippage during band deployment.
Design & Configuration
The ring-and-cone tip geometry provides a funneling surface that helps seat and guide the elastic band over the captured tissue. The cone aligns the band while the surrounding ring supports the tissue, enabling precise placement with minimal manipulation. The 18 cm length offers appropriate reach through an anoscope and adequate working distance for standard transanal approaches while maintaining tactile control for the operator.
