A haemorrhoid ligator is a manual surgical tool used by clinicians to treat internal haemorrhoids. By applying a rubber band to the base of the tissue, the device restricts blood flow to facilitate the removal of the haemorrhoid.
These instruments are typically constructed from durable stainless steel and feature a long shaft with a specialized grip for deploying ligatures. This category consists of reusable devices that require manual operation by a surgeon to release the bands during a procedure.
