Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
inserting into an anal cavity, a device including an elongated elbow hollow member, the hollow member including a window for receiving tissue in an interior of the hollow member; and
actuating an actuation mechanism of the device configured to move a rigid member longitudinally through at least a part of the window, the rigid member being slidably coupled to the hollow member,
wherein, the rigid member is configured so that, when a ligation band is adjacent to the window and rigid member is moved relative to the hollow member, the rigid member deforms the ligation band from an open position into a closed position around tissue received in the window,
wherein the device further includes a crimp plate channel extending from a proximal end of the window to a distal end of the window, and
wherein the rigid member includes a ring-shaped crimp plate housed in the crimp plate channel.
