ABSTRACT:
An elastic band ligation device for treatment of hemorrhoids permits a doctor to band hemorrhoidal tissue without an assistant and does not have to be attached to an aspirator. The device has the capability of suctioning tissue into a tubular member before banding. A plastic inner tubular member retains a stretched elastic band over a front end of an inner tubular member which extends for a sufficient length for insertion into the rectum of a patient. A plunger in the tubular member may be slid backwards to draw a suction in the tubular member to draw tissue in through the front end. A plastic outer pusher sleeve fits over the tubular member and is adapted to push the elastic band off the front end of the tubular member to capture the hemorrhoidal tissue drawn into the tubular member.
