Sklar Hemorrhoid Suction Ligator, Angled Down 30
An angled down 30 degree Sklar hemorrhoid suction ligator, complete with 100 O-rings and a loading cone, used for band ligation of hemorrhoids.
The Sklar Hemorrhoid Suction Ligator is a complete instrument angled down 30 degrees, supplied with 100 O-rings and a loading cone, used to perform rubber band ligation of internal hemorrhoids. The suction mechanism draws the hemorrhoidal tissue into the device so a band, or O-ring, can be released around its base, cutting off blood supply so the tissue eventually shrinks and falls away, a common non-surgical treatment for symptomatic internal hemorrhoids.
The 30 degree downward angle of the instrument is designed to give the clinician a natural approach to the anorectal anatomy during the procedure, which is typically performed in an outpatient or minor procedure setting rather than a full operating theatre. This is a single configuration listing as offered by Sklar for this pattern, and the included O-rings and loading cone give a complete supply for multiple ligation procedures before restocking.
Colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists and general practitioners performing hemorrhoid banding rely on ligators like this as standard equipment for this procedure.
