McGivney Hemorrhoidal Ligator Set with Ligator, Loading Cone and 100 O-Rings

McGivney Hemorrhoidal Ligator Set with Ligator, Loading Cone and 100 O-Rings is a medical device used for the treatment of hemorrhoids. It includes a ligator, loading cone, and 100 O-rings. The ligator is inserted into the rectum and the hemorrhoid tissue is sucked into the device. The loading cone is used to insert the O-ring, which cuts off blood supply to the hemorrhoid, causing it to shrink and fall off. This set is commonly used in minimally invasive surgeries performed by doctors to treat hemorrhoids.

What is a Hemorrhoid Ligator?

A hemorrhoid ligator is a medical device used to treat external hemorrhoids by obstructing the blood flow to the affected area, causing the hemorrhoid to shrink and eventually fall off. It is typically a small plastic device attached to a short tube used to maneuver and stretch the hemorrhoid before sliding a small rubber band over its base. The band constricts the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply and causing it to eventually wither and fall off. This procedure is called rubber band ligation and is a common treatment for persistent or severe hemorrhoids.
