This word has various acceptations. It means, 1. The thread with which an artery or vein is tied, to prevent or arrest hemorrhage. 2. The cord, or thread, or wire, used for removing tumours, etc. 3. The bandage used for phlebotomy. Ligature is, also, sometimes applied to the act of tying an artery or considerable vessel-Ligation, and occasionally we meet with the terms to ligature and to ligate, used unnecessarily in this sense, in place of to take up or tie a vessel. When the artery alone is tied, the ligature is said to be immediate; when any of the surrounding parts are included, it is said to be mediate. The ligature occasions obliteration or adhesion of the arterial parietes, by cutting through the middle and internal coats; the adhesion being favoured by the formation of a coagulum, which acts, in some degree, as a barrier against the impulse of the blood, and subsequently disappears by absorption.
