SmartBand® multi-band ligation system

The SmartBand ligation kit is an endoscopic ligating device that is used to ligate esophageal varices at or above the gastroesophageal junction and to ligate internal hemorrhoids. This band ligating device may be used to treat acute bleeding from esophageal varices or for the prophylactic treatment of esophageal varices.

How the SmartBand multi-band ligation system works

The multi-band ligator kit consists of a ligation handle with universal connector, loading device, flush tube, Pentax adaptor, and barrel with six bands. When setting up the endoscopic ligating device, the deployment cord is first passed through the working channel of the endoscope using the PermaCoil loading device and then assembled to the ligation handle. The slack is taken out of the deployment cord and the barrel is fitted onto the end of the endoscope. The flush tube may be connected to the handle to allow for flushing of the working channel during the procedure. Once completed, the endoscopic ligating device is ready for use in procedures.

Why the SmartBand multi-band ligation system?

The multi-band device ligation kit features:

• Uniquely designed bands to provide greater compression and gripping force than the competition¹
• Six backloaded bands on a clear, smooth barrel for optimal visualization
• Bands that are made with natural latex and bands that are not made with natural rubber latex, both offering a 24-month shelf life
• A universal connector that connects the handle to the endoscope and is compatible with multiple endoscope styles
• A 10FR inner diameter handle stem that enables maximum suction capabilities
• A dedicated flush port for clearing the working channel during the procedure
