Ligature rings suitable for  use in the medical device sector- they have been extensively tested for Cytotoxicity, Irritation and Sensitisation in accordance with International Standard ISO10993-1 and have passed all tests. They are moulded to take the form of a ‘ring’ shape and have an inner diameter of 1.8mm and an outer diameter of 4.8mm (bands will be supplied in this size). The bands have been supplied by a German company known as ‘Erchinger’, who are certified to ISO13485 and are known for their supply to the medical device sector. Currently, these bands are used on a device called the ‘Haemoband’ which is used for the treatment of haemorrhoids (a non-surgical treatment). The bands are loaded onto the ligator end of the Haemoband unit and, once the haemorrhoid has been targeted, the physician presses the trigger and a band fires, securing a band to the haemorrhoid. The next band is then automatically reloaded with the unit ready for the next band application. It is a non-sterile device and is disposable. Details of the product and procedure the bands are currently used with are given below. As the bands are currently not in a stretched state and can therefore have other uses. They are black in colour. Due to excessive ordering, our company now also have an excess of bands, which are currently being stored at the manufacturers.
