Claims20
An anastomotic coupler comprising:
- a ring having a wall including a taper, the ring operable to receive a tubular structure;
- a cartridge including a frame and one or more fasteners, wherein the frame is operable to be received in the tubular structure extending along a longitudinal axis, and the one or more fasteners extend from the frame at an angle from the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the angle of the one or more fasteners corresponds with the taper of the wall of the ring such that the one or more fasteners and the ring couple the ring with the tubular structure.
An anastomotic coupler comprising:
- a ring operable to receive a tubular structure extending along a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a cartridge operable to be received in the tubular structure, the cartridge including:
- a frame operable to be received in a tubular structure extending along a longitudinal axis, the frame having an outer radial surface, the radial surface operable to abut against and be substantially parallel to a wall of the tubular structure;
- and
- one or more fasteners extending from the radial surface at an angle from the longitudinal axis, the one or more fasteners operable to be received by the wall of the tubular structure,
- wherein the ring assists in coupling the cartridge with the tubular structure,
- wherein the ring includes a tapered wall operable to abut against the tubular structure,
- wherein the tapered wall and the one or more fasteners together are operable to engage with the tubular structure to couple the cartridge with the tubular structure.
