Abstract
A ligating band dispenser has a first sleeve, to store one or more ligating bands, and a second member, which at least partially extends about and is movable relative to the first sleeve. The second sleeve is capable of engaging and moving a distal-most ligating band positioned on the first sleeve from an initial storage position to a dispensing position, irrespective of other ligating bands which may be stored thereon.
