An oesophageal endoscopic ligator, single-use is a device designed to work with a flexible endoscope to place rubber bands around oesophageal varices. This procedure helps stop bleeding or causes the varix to clot and shrink by cutting off its blood supply.
As a single-use device, it is intended for one procedure only and then discarded. It typically includes a band carrier with pre-mounted latex bands, a mechanism that attaches to the endoscope tip, and a handheld control system to deploy the bands during endoscopy.
