International Classification:

A61B 17/08

US Classification:

606153

Abstract:

A sheath is affixed to a body lumen, proximal to an anastomosis site. The sheath includes a sleeve defining a passage. A first ring-shaped member or balloon, attached to a proximal portion of the sleeve, is positioned proximal to an anastomosis and a second ring-shaped member or balloon, attached to a distal portion of the sleeve, is positioned distal to an anastomosis.

Appl. No.:

16/006902

Inventors:

- Mansfield MA, US
Jacqueline Jones - Hamden CT, US
Timothy Sargeant - Guilford CT, US
Gregory Fischvogt - Hamden CT, US

International Classification:

A61F 2/00

Abstract:

An endoscopic system for winding and inserting a mesh into an abdominal cavity of a patient is provided. The endoscopic system includes an introducer having an elongated shaft extending distally therefrom. The shaft includes a split portion that defines an opening therealong. The split portion is configured to support the mesh within the opening. A furler defining a lumen is engageable with the split portion of the shaft and configured to exert a radial force onto the mesh that is supported by the split portion. Rotation of one of the furler and introducer with respect to the other winds the mesh inside the furler to a diameter smaller than a diameter of the lumen of the furler.
