Abstract: | The McGivney instrument has been designed for rubber band ligation of hemorrhoids. A simple way to clear the hair from the operating field with the aid of this device during surgery on the scalp is described. The method has been found to be quick and easy, and the tuft of hair is also held in a firmer position than with other methods used for this purpose. |
