Abstract: A medical device (100) comprises an elongated, flexible band (110) having a front side (112), a rear side (114), a leading end (116) and a trailing end (118), and having perforations (120) and rungs (122) defined therein. A locking case (130, 132) is arranged on the front side (112) of the band (112) and has a channel (150) dimensioned for reception of the band (110). The medical device (100) also comprises a locking member (140, 142, 144) configured to interlock perforations (120) and rungs (122) defined in the band (110). Multiple studs (160, 162) are arranged on the rear side (114) of the band (110).

Abstract: A medical device for tissue ligation contains a band having perforations and rungs. A locking case is connected to the band and has a channel dimensioned for reception of the band. A locking member of the locking case is configured to interlock perforations and rungs in the band. The channel contains an arching portion into which the band at least partly protrudes by arching over the locking member when the locking member engages a rung of the band.
