Sklar Loading Cone for McGivney Hemorrhoid Ligator
A replacement loading cone that fits rubber bands onto the McGivney hemorrhoid ligator ahead of a banding procedure.
The Sklar Loading Cone for the McGivney Hemorrhoid Ligator is a small accessory designed to stretch a rubber band and transfer it cleanly onto the McGivney ligator so the instrument is ready to fire during a haemorrhoid banding procedure. Rubber band ligation is a common outpatient treatment for internal haemorrhoids, and a correctly loaded band is essential for the procedure to work, so clinics performing this treatment regularly keep spare cones available in case the original is lost, damaged or shared across multiple ligator handles.
This listing is supplied as the cone only, intended for use specifically with the McGivney ligator rather than as a general purpose fitting. Colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists and general surgeons offering outpatient haemorrhoid treatment use this accessory as part of their standard proctology tray.
Because it is reused across patients, it should be cleaned and sterilised between each banding session in line with the practice's reprocessing protocol for surgical accessories, and inspected for wear before each use to make sure the band still transfers cleanly.
