ANASTOMOTIC DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

An anastomotic system including a plurality of needles loaded with sutures and a delivery tool. The sutures include a suture core and crimp or fastener member at a proximal end of the core. An anchoring sleeve is optionally provided at a distal end. The anchoring sleeve is configured to collapse and prevent retraction of the suture after insertion through the tissue wall. A method of deploying the needles using the delivery tool is also disclosed.
