Patent ID: 8308742

Claim:
A device for elastic ligature of tissues, comprising: a first element and a second element, one of which exhibits a support portion for at least a rubber ring, the first and second elements being slidably coupled to one another such that a reciprocal sliding between the first and second elements determines a release of a rubber ring from the support portion; a command component, manually maneuverable by an operator and acting on at least the second element for realising the reciprocal sliding between the first and second elements, the command component comprising a trigger which is activatable by the operator; the trigger being hinged to a gripping handle of the device so as to be rotatable through an arc about a hinge axis, wherein the command component further comprises a connecting portion, connected to the trigger and to the second element and being elastically deformable, the trigger, the connecting portion and the second element being integrally formed as a single piece, wherein the connecting portion includes a window between a lower strip and an upper strip of the connecting portion, the lower strip being opposite the upper strip, so that the window provides a pre-weakened zone allowing the operator to change the trigger's orientation relative to the second element when the trigger is rotated about the hinge axis.
