Intercutaneous implant device
First Claim
1. An intercutaneous implant device for externalization of vessels comprising:
- (a) a hollow cylinder having an upper and lower end and an interior and exterior surface, said hollow cylinder having a central aperture which is greater in diameter than the exterior expanse of an access site thereby providing a space between the access site and the central aperture and a length which provides for adequate annular separation of an externalized vessel at the exterior and interior surface of the implant to ensure adequate blood supply to the vessel and to the adjacent tissue;
(b) a flange extending from the upper end of the hollow cylinder which provides a platform onto which is attached a termination device; and
(c) a plane contacting surface extending from the lower end of the hollow cylinder which provides a means for fixation of the implant to the patient.
