Abstract
A ligator system for applying an expanded ligator ring to an anatomical region of a living being to be ligatured by the ring in its relaxed state, which comprises a ligator with a holding tube, which receives inside it the anatomical region to be ligatured in each case and with its outer surface keeps a number of ligator rings arranged one behind the other expanded, wherein the ligator system comprises at least one intermediate ring, which is arranged on the holding tube between two ligator rings and keeps the two ligator rings at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the holding tube.
Claims11
A ligator system for the application of an expanded ligature ring to an anatomical region of a living organism to be ligated by the ring in its relaxed state, the ligator system comprising:
- a ligator having a holding tube and an advancing tube, wherein the holding tube is able to accommodate in its interior the anatomical region to be ligated and to keep with its outer face several ligature rings, which are disposed one behind the other, stretched wide, wherein the ligator system further comprises at least two ligature rings and at least one intermediate ring, which is made from a different material than the ligature rings and is disposed on the holding tube between two ligature rings and keeps the two ligature rings at a distance from each other in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the holding tube, and wherein the two ligature rings and the intermediate ring located between them are disposed on the holding tube of the ligator in such a way that, by way of the advancing tube, the two ligature rings and the intermediate ring can be pushed together along the holding tube in a direction towards a distal end thereof in order to fire one of the ligature rings.
