Abstract
A self-disposing ligating band dispenser is formed of a member having predisposed windings, where the windings form a surface to support one or more expanded ligating bands. The wound member has a free portion which enables a properly oriented displacement of the free portion to effect the unwinding of the dispenser, and the dispensing of one or more stored ligating bands.
