Abstract

An implant that has a tubular interior section for implantation into a patient, an exterior section connected to the interior section and an ingrowth member that includes a three-dimensional porous structure. The three-dimensional porous structure is typically located at the inner circumference of the interior section and has desirable properties to facilitate ingrowth of tissue.

Claims

1. An adaptor for securing an intestine segment located outside a patient'"'"'s body after an ostomy has been performed, the adaptor comprising:

attachment means configured and dimensioned to engage an implant for attaching of the adaptor to the implant; and

securing means configured and dimensioned for receiving and attaching the intestine segment to the adaptor.

2. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the attachment means comprises one or more resilient members.

3. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the attachment means is arranged to engage with one or more corresponding recesses or other attachment points on an implant.

4. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adaptor has an aperture through which the intestine segment may pass.

5. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adaptor is substantially ring-shaped.

6. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the securing means comprises one or more openings in the adaptor through which sutures may be attached.

7. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adaptor is arranged to receive the intestine segment therethrough and allow the intestine segment to be reverted back over the adaptor.

8. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the attachment means is arranged such that, when attached to an implant, the adaptor is prevented from rotating with respect to a longitudinal axis of the implant.

9. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the attachment means is arranged such that, when attached to an implant, the adaptor is prevented from moving longitudinally and/or transversally with respect to a longitudinal axis of the implant.

10. An adaptor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the adaptor is made of a biologically degradable material.

12. A kit comprising an implant and an adaptor for securing an intestine located outside a patient'"'"'s body after an ostomy has been performed, wherein the adaptor is as claimed in claim 1.

11. An adaptor for securing an intestine segment located outside a patient'"'"'s body to an implant after an ostomy has been performed, the adaptor comprising:

a tubular body having first and second ends, and being configured and dimensioned to receive an exterior portion of an implant therein;

attachment means for attaching the adaptor to the implant; and

a radially extending part connected to the body that includes securing means for receiving the intestine segment for attachment thereto.

13. A kit comprising an implant and an adaptor for securing an intestine segment located outside a patient'"'"'s body after an ostomy has been performed, wherein the adaptor is as claimed in claim 11.
