Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Devices and methods for ligating structures where the loop of the ligation element can be temporarily pre-tightened without locking the loop. This pre-tightening without locking allows the loop of the ligation element to be loosened and repositioned, if necessary, before locking the loop around the anatomical structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of using a ligation device to locate a loop around a structure, wherein the method comprises: providing a ligation device comprising: a pre-tightening sheath comprising a proximal end, a distal end, a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end, an opening proximate the distal end of the sheath, and a lumen extending through the sheath from the opening towards the proximal end of the sheath; a ligation element comprisi…
