Abstract
A ligation tool for endoscope includes an overtube having an insertion lumenmade of a flexible material, which permits an insertion portionof the endoscope to be inserted therethrough so as to advance and retreat, an O-ringfor ligation attached to a distal end of the overtube, and a operation wirewhich is locked to the O-ring for ligation, has a distal portion extending to the proximal side of the overtube, and is operated to be pulled or pushed at its proximal side, thereby separating the O-ring for ligation from the tip of the overtube. According to this ligation tool for endoscope, time and effort taken to set the ligation tool for endoscope in the endoscope becomes unnecessary, a sufficient field of vision of the endoscope can be secured, and the curving performance of the tip of the insertion portion of the endoscope does not deteriorate. Furthermore, this ligation tool is also advantageous when endoscopic sclerotherapy is performed together.
