Summary

Anastomosis of intestine or other viscera currently requires open or laparoscopic surgery and is often the most difficult, time-consuming, and expensive part of many operations. We have developed a device ("Magnamosis") that may create compression anastomoses more easily, quickly, and less expensively than sutures or staples. The Magnamosis device consists of two 23-mm diameter, convex-concave, radially symmetric ring magnets encased in polycarbonate. One magnet is placed in the lumen of each viscus to be joined, the magnets self-align, and a compression anastomosis is achieved by tissue remodeling. We have completed extensive pre-clinical studies in animals and have shown that Magnamosis can be used to accomplish gastrojejunostomy, jejunojejunostomy, duodenal-colostomy, and colo-colostomy safely and effectively using available endoscopic and minimally invasive surgery techniques. We are now conducting a small first-in-human study to obtain clinical data in support of the safety and early feasibility of the Magnamosis device.

DEVICE

Magnamosis

Single-use, sterile device enables creation of a circular compression intestinal anastomosis. Device is comprised of matched pair of self-centering rare earth magnets encased in medical grade polycarbonate. Geometry of magnets' mating surfaces applies force on inside of mated rings to produce compression necrosis of intervening intestinal walls. Lesser force on outside of mated rings produces inflammatory healing of the two co-apted intestinal walls. Internal lumen creates patency of the anastomosis to prevent intestinal obstruction during compression anastomosis creation. In 5-10 days, mated rings with necrotic tissue falls into intestinal lumen and is naturally expelled with stool, leaving a well-healed anastomosis.
