1. A device for creating an anastomosis of tissue(s) comprising:
- a fusable biocompatible material;
a conductive material combined with the biocompatible material,at least one induction coil disposed in relation to the biocompatible material such that a radiofrequency-induced oscillating magnetic field generates heat around the biocompatible material to fuse or bond at least two materials and create anastomosis of tissue(s); and
a glass envelope containing a cooling fluid and said induction coil(s).

Abstract
Provided herein is a device for use in an anastomosis of tissue(s) comprising a biocompatible material and a means of applying radiofrequency energy or electrical energy to generate heat within said biocompatible material. The device also may be used to bond or fuse at two materials where at least one of the material is a tissue. Also provided are methods to anastomose tissue or to bond or to fuse these materials using these devices.

17. A device for fusing at least two materials, whereby at least one material is tissue, comprising:
-
a fusable biocompatible material; at least one induction coil disposed in relation to the biocompatible material such that a radiofrequency-induced oscillating magnetic field generates around the biocompatible material; a glass envelope containing cooling fluid and said induction coil(s); and means for controlling output of the heat generated within said biocompatible material and combined therewithin. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
