Sklar Loading Cone for Hemorrhoid Suction Ligator
A replacement loading cone accessory used to fit rubber bands onto a hemorrhoid suction ligator before banding treatment.
The Sklar Loading Cone is an accessory component for the hemorrhoid suction ligator system, used specifically to load the small rubber bands that the ligator then places around the base of a haemorrhoid to cut off its blood supply. The cone shape allows a band to be stretched over it and then transferred cleanly onto the ligator's firing mechanism, a preparatory step that has to be done correctly for the banding procedure to work reliably.
This accessory is intended for use with two specific Sklar suction ligator models, so it functions as a spare or replacement part rather than a standalone instrument. Colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists and proctology clinics that perform rubber band ligation for haemorrhoids keep this type of loading cone on hand so a ligator can be reloaded quickly between patients or between bands during a single session.
It is supplied as the cone alone, without the ligator handle itself. Being a reusable accessory, it should be cleaned and sterilised along with the rest of the ligation set between uses.
