1. A device, comprising:
an elongated hollow member with a window for receiving tissue in an interior of the hollow member;
a crimp plate channel extending from a proximal end of the window to a distal end of the window;
a rigid member slidably coupled to the hollow member; and
an actuation mechanism configured to move the rigid member longitudinally along a longitudinal axis through at least part of the window,
wherein the rigid member includes a ring-shaped crimp plate housed in the crimp plate channel and
wherein, the rigid member is configured so that, when a ligation band is adjacent to the window and the rigid member is moved relative to the hollow member, the rigid member deforms the ligation band from an open position into a closed position around tissue received in the window.
