Embodiment approach

[0042] According to an alternative embodiment, the proximal part 26 comprises a hole 40, for example for a suture to be passed therethrough, which can be used to separate the proximal part from the distal part.

[0043] According to an alternative embodiment, the distal part 28 comprises a head 42 and a stem 44 formed along the longitudinal axis 30 , preferably manufactured in one piece.

[0044] The head 42 preferably has a frusto-conical shape and according to an alternative embodiment comprises a hole 46 for a suture to be passed therethrough, which can be used, for example, to connect the distal part to the proximal Parts separated.

[0045] According to an alternative embodiment, the rod 44 preferably has a cylindrical configuration and its free end, ie the end opposite the head 42 , is widened to form a preferably annular base 48 .

[0046]Channel 50 extends along longitudinal axis 30 from the end of head 42 to base 48 and is adapted to receive therein Figure 4 or the...

Abstract

An anastomotic device, particularly a positioning device (24) extending along a longitudinal axis (30) comprises a first component, or proximal component (26) and a second component, or distal component (28). The proximal and distal components are suitable to lock an elastic ring (52) in a deformed configuration therebetween. The proximal component (26)has a substantially cylindrical outer structure with a cavity (32) for receiving a proximal end (52a) of the elastic ring (52). The distal component (28) comprises a head (42) and a stem (44) developing along the longitudinal axis (30). The head (42) has a cone or truncated-cone shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to devices and methods for obesity treatment. In particular, the present invention relates to a device for drawing together tissue suitable for use in a method for performing an anastomosis in the canal of the alimentary canal. [0002] The invention also relates to a method for performing an anastomosis in the canal of the alimentary canal. Background technique [0003] Currently, surgical anastomoses are difficult to perform through endoluminal access. In practice, most anastomoses are formed by using open or laparoscopic surgical techniques. [0004] Accordingly, no effective surgical instrument is available to provide the guidance and control needed to properly draw tissue surfaces together and / or connect surfaces and passages through a body cavity (anastomosis). Contents of the invention [0005] The central problem of the present invention is to provide devices capable of pulling tissues together and c...
