A supporting structure for a ligating band dispensing device adapted to be coupled to a distal end of an endoscope comprises a substantially cylindrical outer support surface adapted to receive a plurality of ligating bands thereon, wherein the support surface includes channel extending therethrough from a distal end to a proximal end. The support surface further includes a plurality of shallow slots and deeper slots disposed on the distal end for retaining a trigger string. The shallow slots and deeper slots may be arranged in an alternating fashion, and each of the slots may be narrower than the trigger string to prevent the trigger string from prematurely exiting the slots. The support surface may also include a plurality of axially extending ridges to assist in deployment of the ligating bands by preventing the bands from sliding along the trigger line and facilitating rolling of the bands along the support surface.
