Rectal Snares and Hemorrhoidal Ligators
Hemorrhoidal ligators place a small rubber band around the base of an internal hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply so it shrinks and falls away. Rubber band ligation is a quick outpatient treatment that usually needs no anaesthetic. Medfort makes standard, Rudd and suction ligators, with grasping forceps and rings (codes SI-050601 to SI-050610).
Where they are used
They are used in proctology and colorectal clinics, general surgery outpatient departments and day-surgery units.
Our range
- Hemorrhoidal ligators: standard and Rudd, complete
- Suction hemorrhoidal ligator: angled 30 degrees

Material and finish
All instruments in this category are made from surgical grade stainless steel to AISI, ASTM and DIN standards, imported from Germany, Japan and France. Each piece is heat-treated to the right hardness for its job, then polished to a satin finish that reduces glare under theatre lights. Joints are fitted by hand so they move smoothly without play, and every instrument is checked before it is packed.
How to choose
A standard ligator is used with grasping forceps to pull the hemorrhoid into the drum. A suction ligator draws the hemorrhoid in by suction, so it can be used one-handed. The Rudd ligator is a classic alternative. Make sure your rings fit the ligator drum, and keep plenty in stock.
Quality control
Every Medfort instrument passes several checks before it leaves our workshop. We check the hardness after heat treatment, inspect jaws, teeth and serrations for correct alignment, test that ratchets lock and release smoothly, and look for any surface defects. Finished instruments are passivated to improve corrosion resistance, then cleaned, marked and packed.
Care and sterilization
Rinse the ligator and forceps straight after use, take the ligator apart where possible, and clean every part by hand or in a washer-disinfector with a neutral pH detergent. Dry thoroughly and lubricate moving parts. The steel parts are suitable for standard steam sterilization. Rubber ligator rings are consumables: use each ring once only and store unused rings as directed on the pack.
