Abstract
A device for removing waste from the small intestine so that the colon can be repaired. The method of using the device includes the steps of forming an opening in the colon, inserting the device through the opening in the colon, passing a portion of the device through the ileocecal valve, inflating a balloon associated with the device such that the balloon contacts an inner wall of the small intestine, whereby the balloon prevents waste in the small intestine from passing by the balloon, flowing waste through the device and outside of the body, and repairing the colon.
Claims23
A device for removal of waste from an intestine, said device comprising:
- a) an outer tube having first and second ends,
- b) an inner tube having first and second ends, and concentric with said outer tube, wherein said first and second ends of said inner tube extend outside of said first and second ends respectively of said outer tube, wherein a space is defined between said inner tube and said outer tube,
- c) a balloon associated with said first end of said inner tube, and
- d) an inlet member including an inlet opening associated with said second end of said inner tube.
A method of repairing the colon within an animal body, the method comprising the steps of
- (a) forming an opening in the colon,
- (b) inserting a device through said opening in the colon,
- (c) passing a portion of said device through the ileocecal valve,
- (d) inflating a balloon associated with said device, wherein said balloon contacts an inner wall of the small intestine, whereby inflation of said balloon prevents waste in the small intestine from passing by said balloon,
- (e) flowing waste through said device and outside of the body, and
