  • Temporary anastomotic device
    Patent number: 4753236
    Abstract: An anastomotic device for temporary installation in a damaged blood vessel, having a generally tube-like shape, and whose purpose is to maintain blood flow within the blood vessel while substantially halting bleeding. The device is so inserted into the damaged blood vessel that it reconnects and reforms the blood vessel through the damaged area. The device contains an enclosed chamber, inflatable from an external source, concentric about an inner cylinder with open ends. The inner cylinder maintains blood flow while the inflated air chamber causes the device to fit snugly enough within the blood vessel to halt external bleeding.
