I suggest " suture ligature " .

In unserer Notaufnahme erfolgte die Umstechung und die elastische

Wickelung des Beines

Is 'Umstechung' an injection? I can't find this word in a

dictionary, medical or other wise.

Thanks, Heribert!

At least I know it is not an injection. I will keep looking for an

English term.

Hi Shane:

I found the following terms in Thieme's Bunjes and Leximed, resp.:

umstechen = to suture; to secure with a purse-string ligature

Umstechung = purse-string ligature

Umstechungsnaht = suture ligature

These sites show elastic banding of esophageal varices.

Elastic banding can be used either alone or in combination with other

methods

such as sclerosant injection or metal clips.

My thanks to Ursula, Andre, o, and Heribert for assistance

with 'Umstechung'

I think 'suture ligature' should cover the meaning.

Shane
