Abstract: A proctoscope including a body, a handle extending therefrom and an elongated element, extended along an axis, with forward and aft ends and. The aft end attached to the body and open for interior access. At least one opening and/or a transparent section in the elongated element. A reference marking along the opening/transparent section and readable via the open aft end. A positioning device, to support at a treatment area, that includes an elongated position adjustment device, with a forward end contact surface, that is movably arranged substantially parallel to the axis and that extends from the body in the same direction as the elongated element from the body. Locking means arranged to secure the elongated position adjustment device in a selected position.

Abstract: A device for use in the treatment of hemorrhoids. The device includes an elongated tube-shaped element that includes a forward end and an aft end. The aft end provides access to the interior of the tube-shaped element. The tube-shaped element extends along a longitudinal axis L and includes at least one opening formed between the forward and aft end. The device includes an anal mucosa support device removably arranged within the tube shape element. The support device includes at least two cavities to receive anal mucosa. At least one needle guide structure is formed in the elongated tube-shaped element and the anal mucosa support device such that at least one needle is capable of being guided during movement within the tube-shaped element across the at least two cavities in the anal mucosa support device to a position where the needle extends across the opening in the tube-shaped element.
