Abstract:
1. A percutaneous ostomy implant for implantation into an animal or a human body, comprising: an axial interior section for fixation inside the body, an axial exterior section in communication with the interior section and extending outwards from the body with a free end, said free end of the exterior section serving for mounting of a detachable device and a distal end of the interior section opposite the exterior section is provided with an anchoring section, extending radially from the distal end of the interior section, wherein the anchoring section comprises an inner anchoring ring extending from or integral with the interior section, an outer anchoring ring, and at least one connection member for resiliently connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring, and wherein a first connection point between a first end of the at least one connection member and the inner anchoring ring is angularly offset with an angle β from a second connection point between a second end of the connection member and the outer anchoring ring, wherein the at least one connection member is S-shaped extending from the inner ring to the outer ring in a plane therebetween to provide axial resilience and anchorage to the anchoring section and delimits elongated circumferential gaps between the inner anchoring ring and the outer anchoring ring, wherein a gap circumferentially extends from one S-shaped connection member's second connection point on the outer anchoring ring to define a first gap part having a first radius to another subsequent circumferential S-shaped connection member's first connection point on the inner anchoring ring, which has a transition to a second gap part having a second radius that is smaller than the first radius of the first gap part; and wherein the inner diameter of the outer anchoring ring is greater than the outer diameter of the inner anchoring ring.
