Sklar McGivney Hemorrhoid Ligator, 10mm
A rubber band ligation instrument used to place bands around internal haemorrhoids to cut off their blood supply during outpatient treatment.
The Sklar McGivney Hemorrhoid Ligator is used to perform rubber band ligation, a common outpatient treatment for internal haemorrhoids in which a small rubber band is placed tightly around the base of the haemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply so the tissue shrinks and eventually falls away. The instrument grips the haemorrhoidal tissue and fires a preloaded band into place in a single controlled action, a procedure that can typically be performed in a clinic setting without general anaesthesia.
This listing includes the ligator complete with a loading cone and one hundred O rings, giving a practice everything needed to begin performing the procedure without sourcing consumables separately. Colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists and general surgeons offering proctology services use this device regularly in outpatient haemorrhoid clinics.
The row measures 7 inches with a 10 millimetre diameter, and the wider listing includes further length and size variants. As a reusable instrument that contacts mucosal tissue, it must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilised between patients.
