A medical device for use in hemorrhoid treatment is an elongate unitary body having a conical portion at one end and a cylindrical portion at an opposite end. The cylindrical portion is truncated along a longitudinal plane to provide the cylindrical portion with a planar outer surface area extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body. A coupling structure is provided on a side of the cylindrical portion opposite the conical portion for releasably attaching the body to a band-holding cylinder of a hemorrhoid ligator.
