ABSTRACT This invention relates to an implant device with a body implantable connector. It is well known in the art that these are various methods for externalizing an internal vessel, or providing fluid communication from the vascular system to a cleansing source outside the body. In the former, the ulceration of the skin, and in the latter the trauma of connecting and reconnecting arteries and veins with tubes or needles have proved to be serious problems. The present invention seeks to do away with these problems by pro- viding a body implantable connector to replace a portion of a patient's body fluid or solid carrying conduit and an implant device which connects to the implantable connector in order to provide access to the body conduit or vessel external from the body. The connector includes a tubular member expanded along its length in order to form a bulbous portion; a side part is provided for connection to the implant device at the approximate midpoint of the tubular member bulbous portion. The implant device has a passageway, which is either straight or curved at the outlet, an anchor means for establishing a biological anchor, and an optional grafting mesh annularly disposed about, and spaced apart from the exterior of the implant device.
