Abstract
A system for making anastomoses between hollow structures by mechanical means is provided with a device in the shape of an annular or tubular element comprising circumferentially provided means, such as pin-shaped elements, for joining the abutting walls of the hollow structures together. An applicator is intended for moving said annular or tubular element in position and activating the joining means thereof, so as to make the anastomosis. Possibly, intraluminal joining means can be inserted without using an annular or tubular element.

a connector including an element selected from the group consisting of annular element and a tubular element that is expandable from a first diameter to a second, larger diameter, and at least two deformable outer elements extending from the element; and an applicator having a proximal end; a distal end; a longitudinal axis; a movable element movable between at least a first position and a second position, the movable element configured to expand the connector from the first diameter to the second diameter when the connector is associated with the applicator when the movable element is moved from the first position to the second position; and a sleeve at least partially disposed about the movable element of the applicator, said sleeve being movable between a first position and a second position whereby the sleeve causes at least a portion of deformable elements of the connector to deform outwardly away from the longitudinal axis, and wherein said at least two deformable outer elements extend in a proximal direction when said connector is associated with said applicator.
3. The system of claim 2, wherein the connector further comprises at least two deformable inner elements extending from the element in a distal direction when said connector is associated with said applicator, and wherein at least a portion of the inner elements is deformable outwardly away from the longitudinal axis when said connector is associated with said applicator.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein the outer elements and inner elements are configured to clamp the first and second hollow tissue structures between the inner elements and the outer elements when the sleeve moves to the second position.
5. The system of claim 4, wherein the movable element comprises a plurality of arms that move from a first position to a second position to thereby expand the connector.
6. The system of claim 5, wherein each of the arms comprises a deflection surface at a distal portion thereof.
7. The system of claim 6, wherein each deflection surface is positioned such that when said movable element is in the second position, at least some of the inner and outer elements abut against said deflection surfaces during at least a part of said movement of said sleeve.
8. The system of claim 6, wherein each of said arms comprises a notch in a distal portion thereof, and the system further comprises an elastic band located in said notches.
9. The system of claim 6, wherein said arms are connected at a proximal portion by an annular part.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein said arms comprise a material with elastic properties.

a head provided with a plurality of arms, each said arm having a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein each said arm is movable from a first position at which the distal ends of the arms are separated by a first distance which is less than a distance of separation between the proximal ends of said arms when said arms are in the first position, to a second position, at which the distal ends of said arms are separated by a second distance, the second distance being greater than the first distance;
and a shank like element associated with said head such that relative movement of said shank-like element and said head causes arms to move from said first position toward second position, and wherein the distal ends of the arms are adapted to hold and position said joining elements for making an anastomosis between the hollow structures.
a head provided with a plurality of arms, each said arm having a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein each said arm is movable from a first position at which the distal ends of the arms are separated by a first distance which is less than a distance of separation between the proximal ends of said arms when said arms are in the first position, to a second position, at which the distal ends of said arms are separated by a second distance, the second distance being greater than the first distance;
and a shank like element associated with said head such that relative movement of said shank-like element and said head causes arms to move from said first position toward second position, and wherein the distal ends of the arms are adapted to hold and position said joining elements for making an anastomosis between the hollow structures.
