CA 2551731
An apparatus constructed from a super elastic material and having magnetic properties is provided for joining together at least two hollow bodies. The apparatus comprises a frame having at least one magnet mounted to an end thereof. The frame is substantially tubular and is preferably constructed from super elastic materials allowing the frame to assume a first expanded diameter and a second smaller diameter corresponding to the outer wall of a hollow body. The frame can be a wire helix that allows for radial and longitudinal flexing. Frames are disposed over the outer walls of the severed ends of at least two hollow bodies to be joined together. The hollow bodies are placed into contact such that the magnetic forces between the two frames links the two bodies together in tight fluid communication. A system for joining together two hollow bodies is provided. The system includes a magnetic frame that is placed around a severed end of a hollow body. A positioning member is located and fixed within the lumen of a hollow body. The frame is mounted on a first substantially tubular hollow member that slides along the length of the positioning member. A coaxial space exists between the positioning member and the hollow member. The first member is positioned such that the outer wall of the hollow body is located within the coaxial space. A second substantially tubular hollow member is mounted around the outside of the first member and slid there along until it contacts an end of the frame.. As the second member is slid relative to the first member, the frame is displaced around the outer wall of the hollow body.
