Abstract
The invention provides systems, devices, and methods for the delivery, deployment, and positioning of magnetic compression devices at a desired site so as to improve the accuracy of anastomoses creation between tissues, organs, or the like.
Claims20
A magnetic compression anastomosis device comprising:
- a plurality of interconnected support structures configured to form an magnetic compression anastomosis device having an annular or polygon deployed configuration, wherein each support structure of the plurality of interconnected support structures includes a receptacle configured to receive and secure a plurality of small magnetic segments each having a north magnetic pole individually orientable within the receptacle to form a field controlled magnetic array (FCMA), the magnetic compression anastomosis device including a plurality of field programmable magnetic arrays each having a configurable surface field strength.
