Abstract

A surgical stent made of biocompatible material for implantation in human tissue to enable blood and nutrients to flow from an area of vascular tissue to an area of tissue with little or no vasculature.

Claims (26)

1. A surgical stent for avascular or partially vascular tissue repair and regeneration, said stent comprising an elongated member made of a biocompatible material, said member having a passage therein, said member having an outer surface, whereby said stent may be implanted in a patient to deliver blood, nutrients, and cells from an area of vascular tissue through said passage to an area of tissue with little or no vasculature.
2. The stent according to claim 1 wherein said member comprises a hollow tube which is open at both ends to define end apertures.
3. The stent according to claim 2 wherein the wall of the hollow tube includes a plurality of apertures to enable blood, nutrients, and cells to enter the stent from vascular tissue.
4. The stent according to claim 2 wherein the outer surface of the tube is smooth.
5. The stent according to claim 2 wherein the outer surface of the tube is roughened.
6. The stent according to claim 2 wherein the outer surface of the tube includes ribs.
7. The stent according to claim 6 wherein the ribs encircle the outer surface.
8. The stent according to claim 6 wherein the ribs comprise threads to enable the stent to be threaded into tissue.
9. The stent according to claim 8 wherein the threads have varying pitch across the length of the threads.
10. The stent according to claim 6 wherein the ribs include sharp outer edges.
11. The stent according to claim 6 wherein the ribs are longitudinal and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
12. The stent according to claim 2 wherein one of said end apertures comprises at least one of a non-circular aperture to enable a driving tool to engage said aperture to rotationally drive said stent into tissue.
13. The stent according to claim 11 wherein one of said end apertures comprises a slot.
14. The stent according to claim 2 wherein said stent includes a collar for limiting the travel of the stent into tissue.
15. The stent according to claim 1 wherein said member comprises a porous rod.
16. A surgical stent for avascular or partially vascular tissue repair and regeneration, said stent comprising a rod made of a biocompatible material, said rod having one of a plurality of interconnected apertures and porosity to define a passage, said rod having an outer surface, whereby said stent may be implanted in a patient to deliver blood, nutrients, and cells from an area of vascular tissue through said passage to an area of tissue with little or no vasculature.
17. The stent according to claim 14 wherein the outer surface of the rod is smooth.
18. The stent according to claim 14 wherein the outer surface of the rod is roughened.
19. The stent according to claim 14 wherein the outer surface of the rod includes ribs.
20. The stent according to claim 17 wherein the ribs encircle the outer surface.
21. The stent according to claim 17 wherein the ribs comprise threads to enable the stent to be threaded into tissue.
22. The stent according to claim 17 wherein the ribs include sharp outer edges.
23. The stent according to claim 17 wherein the ribs are longitudinal and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube.
24. The stent according to claim 14 wherein at least one end of said rod has a non-circular geometry to enable a driving tool to engage said aperture to rotationally drive said stent into tissue.
25. The stent according to claim 14 wherein the rod includes a collar for limiting the travel of the stent into tissue.
