ABSTRACT:
A surgical ligaturing and restraining device for small animals comprises an elongated tubular body member (10) having a noose (28) at the front end (18) operable from the rear end (12) of the body. The body front end is fitted with a cap (20) with two holes (22) (24) through its face. The noose is formed by a flexible and elastic cable (26), one end (25) of the cable is looped around passing through the holes in the cap. Said cable end (25) is attached to the cable itself around cable middle portion by attachment means (30). The cable runs through the inside of the body and emerges substantially from the body rear end (12). The body rear end has two short longitudinally extending slots (14) (16), each slot has one extremity open to the rear end. The slots are diametrically opposite each other, dividing the tubular body into two sides (32) (34). One side (32) is made shorter than the opposite side (34 ), so as to facilitate the locking action. The device is applied by placing the noose around an object. The noose is tightened by pulling on the cable out of the body rear end. The tightened noose is locked by passing the cable through one of the slots, and wrapped around the body several times, before passing said cable through both slots, to complete the locking procedure.
