An improved elastic band for ligating tissue within a living body comprises a central opening defining an axis. A first curved edge is formed between a first surface extending substantially parallel to the axis and a second surface extending substantially perpendicular to the axis. A method of ligating tissue within a living body using such a ligating band comprises the steps of positioning the elastic band, which has been stretched to increase the size of a central opening extending therethrough, adjacent to a portion of tissue to be ligated. The tissue to be ligated is then drawn through the central opening of the elastic band and the elastic band is released so that the size of the central opening decreases to grip the tissue received therein.

L'invention concerne une bande élastique améliorée de ligature de tissus à l'intérieur d'un corps vivant, la bande comprenant une ouverture centrale définissant un axe. Un premier bord courbe est formé entre une première surface s'étendant sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe et une deuxième surface s'étendant sensiblement perpendiculairement à l'axe. Un procédé de ligature d'un tissu à l'intérieur d'un corps vivant au moyen de cette bande de ligature consiste à positionner la bande élastique, qui a été étirée pour augmenter la taille d'une ouverture centrale s'étendant à travers la bande, à côté d'une partie du tissu à ligaturer. Ensuite, on passe le tissu à ligaturer dans l'ouverture centrale de la bande élastique et on libère la bande élastique de sorte que la taille de l'ouverture centrale diminue pour retenir le tissu se trouvant à l'intérieur.
