Patent number: 9226848Abstract: A percutaneous ostomy implant for implantation into the abdominal wall of a patient. The implant has a cylindrical part for mounting an external detachable device thereto, an ingrowth mesh and a circular flange for anchoring the implant. The cylindrical part and circular flange are attached to opposite ends of the ingrowth mesh. The ingrowth mesh is arranged such that when the implant is implanted in the abdominal wall of a patient, the epidermis meets the ingrowth mesh and is able to attach therethrough directly to serosal tissue of a bowel segment inside the implant.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2010Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Ostomycure ASInventors: Martin Johansson, Björn Edwin, Leif Hulten, Peter Thomsen

Patent number: 8821462Abstract: An implant for percutaneous implantation through the abdominal wall for encircling and engaging an externalized length of a body duct of a human or animal patient. The implant has an exterior tubular section defined by an circumferential exterior wall at least a part of which is adapted to protrude outwardly from the abdominal wall with a free end for mounting of a detachable device, an interior section defined by an circumferential interior wall adapted to extend through the abdominal wall and inside the patient for internal fixation of the implant, wherein the exterior tubular section and the interior section have a common axis A.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2008Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Ostomycure ASInventors: Robert Axelsson, Martin Johansson, Bjørn Edwin, Erik Fosse

Patent number: 8647304Abstract: An implant for percutaneous implantation through the abdominal wall for encircling and engaging an externalized length of a body duct of a human or animal patient. The implant has an exterior ring section protruding outwardly from the abdominal wall with a free end which serves for mounting of a detachable device, and an interior section extending through the abdominal wall and inside the patient for internal fixation of the implant. The exterior ring section and interior section have a common axis. The internal circumference of at least a part of the exterior ring section above the interior section is arranged with a biocompatible, integrated ingrowth means for the exterior surface of the body duct wall.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Ostomycure ASInventors: Robert Axelsson, Martin Johansson, Anette Johnsson, Bjørn Edwin, Erik Fosse

Publication number: 20120289916Abstract: A method of providing a stoma with a removable connection for a receptacle includes securing an implant onto the stoma of a patient, wherein the implant has an axial interior section for fixation inside the body and an axial exterior section extending outwards from the body, a free end of the exterior section accommodates mounting of a detachable device, and a distal portion of the interior section includes an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal portion of the interior section. The anchoring section has an inner anchoring ring, an outer anchoring ring and at least one connection member configured and dimensioned for resiliently connecting the inner and outer anchoring rings in a manner to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section such that the anchoring section is able to respond to movements and absorb the shear of the implant in relation to adjacent organs.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: OSTOMYCURE A/SInventors: Martin Johansson, Robert Axelsson, Anette Johnsson, Bjorn Edwin, Erik Fosse

Publication number: 20110196324Abstract: A percutaneous implant serves for implantation into an animal or a human body. The implant is of the kind that has an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, an axial exterior section in communication with the interior section and extending outwards from the body with a free end. The free end of the exterior section serves for mounting of a detachable device. A distal end of the interior section opposite the exterior section is provided with an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal end of the interior section. The anchoring section includes an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member configured and dimensioned for resiliently connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring in a manner to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2011Publication date: August 11, 2011Inventors: Martin Johansson, Robert Axelsson, Anette Johnsson, Bjorn Edwin, Erik Fosse

Patent number: 7935096Abstract: A percutaneous implant serves for implantation into an animal or a human body. The implant is of the kind that has an anchoring section, extending radially from a distal end of an interior section. The anchoring section comprises an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member for connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring. Since a first connection point between a first end of the at least one connection member and the inner anchoring ring is angularly offset from a second connection point between a second end of the connection member and the outer anchoring ring, the anchoring section constitutes a resilient spring means, which adapts to the movements of the body. The implant is especially designed for use without externalization of the vessel to be brought into communication with the exterior.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Ostomycure ASInventors: Martin Johansson, Robert Axelsson, Anette Johnsson, Bjorn Edwin, Erik Fosse
