Abstract: An anastomotic tissue connection device has a head side end and a handle side end, with a head part arranged at the head side end. The head part has a reception means for receiving at least one connection member and which is, furthermore, provided with a counter-pressure plate being firmly arranged at a counter-pressure plate holding device and facing the head part. The head part and the counter-pressure plate holding device are relatively movable towards each other. For the support of the counter-pressure plate, the counter-pressure plate holding device forms at least one column so that a space directly behind the counter-pressure plate is freely accessible radially to a circumference of the counter-pressure plate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an anastomotic tissue connection device in the form of a circular suture clip device which has a head side end (1) and a handle side end (2), with a head part (100) arranged at the head side end (1) comprising a reception means (101) for receiving at least one connection member (10) for the connection of the tissue and which is, furthermore, provided with a counter-pressure plate (201) being firmly arranged at a counter-pressure plate holding device (200) and facing the head part (100) for retention during the introduction of the connection members (10) into the tissue that is to be connected, with the head part (100) and the counter-pressure plate holding device (200) being relatively movable towards each other.
