  • Anastomotic device
    Patent number: 4552148
    Abstract: An anastomotic device for receiving the free ends of anatomic tubular structures to be anastomosed, the device having a pair of ring members for securement to the free end of each of the tubular members to be anastomosed and the ring members having annular connecting structures which mate with each other to connect the ring members. Novel securement structures are associated with the annular connecting structures to enable the securement of the ring members in a fixed relationship at a predetermined distance from each other. Structure is provided to connect each tubular member free end over a ring member so that the free ends are positioned contiguous to each other around the connecting structures to enable the ends to grow together and approximate the outer surface of the tubular member.
