Title: Methods and apparatuses for delivering anchoring devices into body passage walls
Inventor: RAHMANI EMAD Y
IPC: A61B17/03
Filed: 2008-12-05
Granted: 2014-08-14
Abstract: Described, in certain embodiments, are methods and apparatuses for delivering anchoring devices such as T-anchors into body passage walls. Some inventive methods involve inserting one or more anchoring devices into a wall of an organ in a direction from a luminal surface to an abluminal surface of the wall. In some instances, inserting a device in this manner, while providing at least part of the device implanted between the luminal surface and the abluminal surface of the wall, is conducted without the device exiting the wall's abluminal surface. In these and other inventive methods, delivering an anchoring device into a body passage wall may involve manipulating the wall in some manner before, during and/or after placing the device in the wall. Various forms of manipulation are described in this regard.

The invention includes features for integration with existing stormwater systems such as overflow points. The invention provides utilities access pathway all the way to an end user's premises with minimal need for digging or disturbance of footpaths or paved surfaces this is a major improvement upon the prior art which transforms the economics of surface accessible utility ducting systems. The invention includes covers, which are interchangeable, may take various forms, such as a pavement and kerb, a driveway ramp or a wheel chair access ramp. This allows the invention to be economically adapted to changes in kerb requirements as changes to the pathways and kerbs occur along their length and as requirements change over time, this solves the problems associated with the prior art which can not be readily adapted to all the variations found in kerbs and gutters along the length of the kerb and pavement or as they occur over time. The invention enables rain and run-off water to be isolated from contamination and managed to preserve its value and usefulness. The invention lowers the cost of, and increases the speed, of new service deployment thereby overcoming the major economic barriers to market entry of new distributed utility services. The invention is to be manufactured in most cases as precast modules. The channels, lids, access boxes are linked by flexible interstitial joints which enable the system so formed to change direction to conform with the contours of the landscape in which it is located. In most cases the material of construction will be a dense, reinforced material such as concrete. When so constructed the invention will resist the effects of earthquakes, cyclones, flooding, tornados, and tsunamis.
