Abstract: An insertion tool for grasping an object, the insertion tool comprising: a tube having two stabilizing tips at an end of the tube, the stabilizing tips parallel to each other; a grasping head having a grasping tip controllable to move axially relative to the stabilizing tips away from and towards the tube, wherein the grasping tip is insertable along a first side of an object for grasping the object by relative movement of the grasping head towards the tube in order to tighten stabilizing tips against a second side of the object and when grasping the object, the grasping tip together with the stabilizing tips provide three hubs of contact with the object, wherein when grasping the object, a longitudinal axis of the insertion tool is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the object.

Abstract: The present invention provides docking heads to be mounted on a graft so as to establish a vascular device that is coupled to a blood vessel with aneurysm, and dedicated delivery devices as well as methods of coupling. The vascular device comprises a graft having docking head at the proximal portion and another docking head at its distal portion, or two docking heads if the graft is bifurcated. The docking heads comprises a hollow truncated cone having a passage adapted to correspond the outer diameter of the graft and is provided with a plurality of outwardly pointing and inclined barbs. The vascular device is coupled to the blood vessel on both sides of the aneurysm while the docking heads act as guiding, anchoring and sealing means in a suture-less and rapid manner. The vascular device is modular and can be prepared according to the condition of the aneurysm and the dimensions of the blood vessels during operation.

Abstract: A docking head of the present invention is provided to be mounted on a vascular graft having an outer diameter comparable with the inner diameter of the blood vessel so as to couple the vascular graft to a vessel wall in a suture-less manner. The docking head comprises a thin-walled hollow truncated cone having a passage sized to fit the outer diameter of the vascular graft wherein the cone is capable of connecting to the vascular graft while the hollow thin-walled truncated cone is provided with a plurality of outwardly pointing and inclined plurality of barbs. The docking head act as guiding, anchoring and sealing means between the vascular graft and the vessel.

Abstract: A device and method for preparation of a graft and a fastener for coupling to a vessel. The device includes a tubular body with a gripping head at a distal end to grip the graft and the fastener. The graft is threaded through the fastener and an edge of the graft out of the fastener. The gripping head has at least three segments arranged around its axis. The segments can be brought closer or pushed away from each other to modify the external diameter of the head and to provide firm gripping of the fastener and the graft. The device further includes a pliant tongue which may rotate around the tubular body. Radial positioning of the tongue may be controlled and the tongue may slide axially towards or away from the head.

Abstract: The present invention provides improved and simplified methods of vascular or hollow organ suture-less anastomosis for attachment of artificial standard vascular graft to the vessel wall in order to reduce the duration of the surgical procedure and its costs.
