Patent ID: 8303605

Claim:
A device for elastic ligature of tissues, comprising: a first and a second element, one of which exhibits a support portion configured to support at least a rubber band, the elements being slidably coupled to one another such that a reciprocal sliding between the elements determines a release of a rubber band from the support portion; command means, manually maneuverable by an operator and acting on at least the second element for realizing a reciprocal sliding between the elements, the command means comprising a trigger which is activatable by an operator's finger; wherein the command means further comprise a connecting portion, connected to the trigger and to the second element and being elastically deformable in order to enable a reciprocal change of orientation between the trigger and the second element, the second element being arranged externally of the first element, the device further comprising a gripping handle to which the trigger is rotatably applied and to which the first element is fixed, wherein the trigger is rotatably applied to the gripping handle by means of a snap-fit coupling realizable by a nearing movement of the trigger to the gripping handle along a substantially parallel direction to a reciprocal sliding direction of the first element and the second element.
