Garrote
A Selay garrote
A garrote was a device used to strangle an individual.
The Selay used a garrote while aboard the USS Enterprise-D in 2364 to hunt the Anticans. Ssestar used such a device when he accidentally caught Commander William T. Riker in a corridor near engineering. Riker reported the incident to Tasha Yar, explaining to her that "the Selays are playing hide and seek down here – obviously with the Anticans – and it's a lethal game," as he rubbed his throat. (TNG: "Lonely Among Us")
According to the episode's script, this garrote was described specifically as a "sparkling loop".
In 2365, while posing as Sherlock Holmes on the holodeck, Data accused a woman of using a beaded shawl as a garrote, noting that the beads would leave distinct marks as (unique as) fingerprints. (TNG: "Elementary, Dear Data")
