Implant

Abstract

A percutaneous implant serves for implantation into an animal or a human body. The implant is of the kind that has an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, an axial exterior section in communication with the interior section and extending outwards from the body with a free end. The free end of the exterior section serves for mounting of a detachable device. A distal end of the interior section opposite the exterior section is provided with an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal end of the interior section. The anchoring section includes an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member configured and dimensioned for resiliently connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring in a manner to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section.

1 . A percutaneous ostomy implant for implantation into an animal or a human body, comprising:
 an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, an axial exterior section in communication with the interior section and extending outwards from the body with a free end, said free end of the exterior section serving for mounting of a detachable device, and   a distal end of the interior section opposite the exterior section is provided with an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal end of the interior section,   wherein the anchoring section comprises an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member configured and dimensioned for resiliently connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring in a manner to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section.   
     
     
         2 . The implant according to  claim 1  wherein the outer anchoring ring has an inner diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the inner anchoring ring and each connection member has a shape that defines at least one gap or opening between the inner anchoring ring and the outer anchoring ring. 
     
     
         3 . The implant according to  claim 2  wherein at least two connection members are provided, each extending from the inner ring to the outer ring in a plane therebetween to provide said axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section. 
     
     
         4 . The implant according to  claim 3  wherein each connection member defines a gap having first and second gap parts that are of different lengths and which delimit and overall elongated circumferential gap between the inner anchoring ring and the outer anchoring ring. 
     
     
         5 . The implant according to  claim 1 , wherein the anchoring section extends from the distal end of the interior section at an angle a of approximately 90-110° and the anchoring section extends from the distal end of the interior section at an angle a of approximately 90° . 
     
     
         6 . The implant according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the inner anchoring ring, the outer anchoring ring or the at least one connection member has a substantially circular cross-section. 
     
     
         7 . The implant according to  claim 1 , wherein a lower face of the anchoring section is covered with a polypropylene or tissue mesh. 
     
     
         8 . The implant according to  claim 7 , wherein the mesh is adhered to the inner anchoring ring and the elongated connection members by means of a biological acceptable glue. 
     
     
         9 . The implant according to  claim 8 , wherein the mesh has a central portion which is either of a different pore structure or a different thickness than the rest of the mesh or is saturated with glue. 
     
     
         10 . The implant according to  claim 8 , wherein the central portion has a guiding hole. 
     
     
         11 . The implant according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one surface on the anchoring section is coated with a biologically acceptable tissue glue and the anchoring section and glue are covered by a peelable foil.
