POSITIONING DEVICE FOR DEPLOYING AT LEAST ONE LOCKING PORTION OF AN ANASTOMOTIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT ANASTOMOSIS IN TRACTS OF THE DIGESTIVE TUBE

摘要

A positioning device for deploying at least one locking portion (20) of an anastomotic device (10) for drawing together a first tissue portion (12) and a second tissue portion (14) to be connected by means of anastomosis is suitable for sliding along a guide means comprising at least one guide wire (A, B) and comprises an elongated structure (50). A head (52) of the positioning device is suitable to be interference-inserted on a distal end of the elongated structure (50). The head (52) comprises elastic tabs (54) extending from a proximal end of the head and at least one channel (56) suitable for receiving a guide wire. The head (52) comprises a distal end defining a thrust surface (58) for a locking portion (20) of the anastomotic device (10).
