  • a group of needles 81 or staples is provided which is anchored in at least one of the compression rings and adapted to pierce through the tissue clamped therebetween.
  • the needles 81 can be directly fixed to a compression ring or to a ring locking device 82 or, as shown in figure 5, the group of needles 81 comprise a self supporting needle ring 83 which can be e.g. received by an apposite seat defined at the locking device 82 in order to anchor the needles 81 reliably to the ring device during and after its deployment.
  • Both the needles and the needle ring are advantageously but not necessarily made of bio-absorbable or bio- fragmentable material.
  • the locking device 82 comprises an annular proximal shoulder 84 with a distal engaging surface 85 suitable to engage the proximal end surface of the first (jejunal) compression ring 36 and a tubular longitudinal portion 86 which protrudes distally from the proximal shoulder 84.
  • the longitudinal portion 86 has a shape adapted to be inserted through the central openings of both the first and second compression rings 36, 39 and forms one or more elastically supported snapper teeth 87 adapted to snap engage a corresponding edge or surface of the second (gastric) compression ring 39 (in the description of the locking device 82 the terms "proximal” and “distal” are referred to the direction of deployment) .
  • the provision of a distinct locking device allows the compression rings to be designed specifically to meet the requirements of the delivery and anastomosis, thereby avoiding compromises between these requirements and those of the connection of the compression rings.
  • the tubular shape of the locking device 82 stabilizes the shape of the anastomotic lumen and provides a protective lining which isolates the tissue portions 45, 44 clamped between the compression rings from fluids and contents passing through the anastomotic lumen at least during the period of wound healing.
  • the locking device 82 is advantageously at least partially made of bio-absorbable or bio- fragmentable material .
  • the anastomotic ring applier system 30 has many advantages. Its coupling device allows to couple and uncouple the first ring carrier device with respect to the second ring carrier device endoluminally at or near the operational site and the fluid pressure approximating device allows to approximate the compression rings in a well controllable manner without any need to apply the push-pull forces from outside the body of the patient along the entire instrument path up to the anastomotic rings.
  • the fluid pressure approximation device can be configured to be further able to move the compression rings apart, e.g. by realizing a double pressure chamber unit.
  • the expandable anchoring head of the coupling device can act at the same time as tissue widening device and as guide device for the compression rings .

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système d'application d'anneau anastomotique (30) qui permet de déployer un premier (36) et un second anneau de compression (39). Ledit système comprend : un applicateur anastomotique (32) doté d'un second support annulaire (38) conçu pour retenir le second anneau de compression (39) ; un dispositif d'approximation d'anneau (37) pourvu d'une première partie (42) pouvant se raccorder à un dispositif externe de support du premier anneau (31) qui soutient le premier anneau de compression (36) et d'une seconde partie (43) reliée au dispositif de support du second anneau (38), la première (42) et la seconde partie (43) étant reliées entre elles par une unité de propulsion à piston/cylindre (66). Un dispositif de pompe à fluide est raccordé à une chambre de pression (67) de l'unité de propulsion à piston/cylindre (66) pour que l'action de la pompe à fluide augmente la pression du fluide dans la chambre de pression (67) et entraîne le déplacement de la première et la seconde partie (42, 43) de l'une à l'autre en vue de rapprocher et interconnecter les anneaux de compression (36, 39).
