Apparatus for anastomosing living vessels

摘要: To effect a simple anastomosis of pair severed blood vessel portions in manner which insures patency the anastomozed vessel, member, preferably form ring, has structure for tethering thereto under radial stress with intima apposed. During surgery, ring is disposed around an end one portions, and are tethered to at least three spaced apart locations stressing radially outward several directions evert hold two against each other. close proximity during anastomosis, pneumatic clamping device provided grips precise force according fluid pressure supplied thereto. Precise control gripping assures firm grip that not excessive does damage portions. Preferably portion integrally formed frangible therefrom permitting be prepackaged sterile container prepositioned relative separated upon completion anastomosis.
