Abstract: Modular mammalian body implantable fluid flow influencing device, comprising: docking unit having receiving surface, distal and proximal ends, proximal guide hole. Functional unit having docking surface shaped to mate with receiving surface, distal and proximal ends. Control wire extends from proximal end of functional unit then goes through guide hold then extends proximally away from docking unit. Functional and docking units are dimensioned and shaped to be deliverable to an implantation site via catheter. Functional unit has docked configuration in which docking surface mates with receiving surface of docking unit and undocked configuration in which docking surface is unmated with and spaced apart from receiving surface of docking unit. Functional unit moveable at implantation site between undocked and docked configurations via movement of control wire. Functional unit moveable into docked configuration by pulling control wire, and moveable from into undocked configuration by pushing control wire.

Abstract: A docking unit for use in a modular mammalian body implantable device. The docketing unit comprising an elongated body. The body has: a longitudinal axis, at least one receiving surface extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, a distal end and a proximal end, and at least one proximal guide hole. Each receiving surface has at least one proximal guide hole associated therewith. The docking unit is dimensioned and shaped to be deliverable to an implantation site within a conduit of a conduit system of the mammalian body via a catheter.
