Chicago Clinic is First to Use Disposable Rubber Band Ligation System for the Quick, Painless, Relief from Hemorrhoids.

CHICAGO -- The first and only 100% disposable CRH-O'Regan Hemorrhoid Banding System improves patient comfort and eliminates the risk of cross contamination 

The new disposable CRH-O'Regan Hemorrhoid Banding System from The Center for Colorectal Health offers a significant advance in the rubber band ligation technique for effective outpatient treatment of hemorrhoids. The Center for Colorectal Health is the only healthcare provider in the U.S. offering the CRH -O'Regan Disposable Hemorrhoid Banding System.

Unlike other techniques that use a metal clamp to grasp the hemorrhoid during banding the CRH-O'Regan procedure uses a smaller and gentler suction device to minimize discomfort and complications. Additionally, while other centers rely on re-usable instrumentation, their patented instruments are 100% disposable and single use. This eliminates the risk of transferring infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis B and C from patient to patient due to inadequately sterilized instrumentation.

Rubber band ligation is one of the most common surgical procedures today, with an estimated 50,000,000 procedures performed annually, worldwide. Studies indicate that rubber band ligation is an effective alternative to surgery for 90% of the most frequent types of hemorrhoids. A small rubber band is placed over the hemorrhoid, cutting off its blood supply. The hemorrhoid and the band usually fall off within a day or so. Once the hemorrhoid is gone, so are the symptoms. The CRH-O'Regan Hemorrhoid Banding System is the only hemorrhoid removal treatment that requires no pre or post pain medication and virtually no recovery time. The "Gold Standard" for banding, this procedure has the lowest rate of complications ever published.

The CRH-O'Regan Ligation Banding treatment is only available to patients treated by Board Certified Surgeons through The Center for Colorectal Health.
