Abstract

Various embodiments of an ostomy implant system are provided. A 3D-structured ostomy implant can adapt to the shape of the interface between the intestine and the abdominal wall. The implant can include a funnel-like device where a funnel neck portion can encapsulate and support the intestine and a larger funnel top can attach to and reinforce the abdominal wall. The implant can be a unitary implant constructed of a plurality of undulating strut members.

Claims

1. A generally funnel-shaped ostomy implant, comprising:

a neck portion constructed at least in part of a plurality of undulating strut members, the neck portion adapted to surround a portion of the intestine of a patient; and

a top portion adapted to extend from the neck portion and attach to the abdomen of the patient.

2. The implant of claim 1, wherein the top portion is constructed at least in part of a plurality of undulating strut members.

3. The implant of claim 1, wherein the neck portion and the top portion provide a unitary construct of undulating strut members.

4. The implant of claim 1, wherein the top portion is attached to an interior surface of the abdomen.

5. The implant of claim 1, wherein the neck portion includes one or more magnets.

6. The implant of claim 5, wherein the one or more magnets are adapted to secure the neck portion around the intestine of the patient.

7. The implant of claim 1, further including a plug device adapted to insert into a portion of the intestine extending through the abdomen of the patient.

8. The implant of claim 7, wherein the plug device includes one or more magnets.

9. The implant of claim 8, wherein the neck portion includes one or more magnets adapted to cause attraction with the one or more magnets of the plug device.

10. An ostomy implant system, comprising:

a generally funnel-shaped implant including;

a neck portion constructed at least in part of a plurality of undulating strut members, the neck portion adapted to surround a portion of the intestine of a patient;

a top portion constructed at least in part of a plurality of undulating strut members and adapted to extend from the neck portion and attach to the abdomen of the patient; and

a plug device adapted to fit into an intestinal opening in the patient.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the neck portion and the top portion provide a unitary construct of undulating strut members.

12. The system of claim 10, wherein the top portion is attached to an interior surface of the abdomen.

13. The system of claim 10, wherein the neck portion includes one or more magnets.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more magnets are adapted to secure the neck portion around the intestine of the patient.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the plug device includes one or more magnets adapted to cause attraction with the one or more magnets of the neck portion.

16. An ostomy implant system, comprising:

a generally funnel-shaped implant including a neck portion and a top portion, the neck portion being constructed at least in part of a plurality of undulating strut members and having one or more magnets such that the neck portion is adapted to surround a portion of the intestine of a patient, with the top portion constructed at least in part of a plurality of undulating strut members and adapted to extend from the neck portion and attach to the abdomen of the patient; and

a plug device adapted to fit into an intestinal opening in the patient, the plug device having one or more magnets adapted to cause attraction with the one or more magnets of the neck portion.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the neck portion and the top portion provide a unitary construct of undulating strut members.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the top portion is attached to an interior surface of the abdomen.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the undulating strut members define a plurality of repeating cells.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the plurality of repeating cells are generally pin-wheeled shaped.
