Patent ID: 8142454

Claim:
A system for auto-anastomosing a region of the body, comprising: a. a first implant comprising: a body, a first magnet with a first magnetic polarity, a first through-hole, and a terminal annulus defining a convex mating surface, and wherein said convex mating surface has a first radius and b. a second implant comprising: a body, a second magnet with a second magnetic polarity opposite from said first magnetic polarity, a second through-hole, and a terminal annulus defining a concave mating surface, wherein said concave mating surface extends within the body of said second implant, and wherein said concave mating surface has a second radius, wherein said second radius is greater than said first radius, wherein while said convex mating surface faces said concave mating surface, a magnetic mating of said surfaces causes the terminal annulus of the first implant to extend within the body of the second implant and apply a non-uniform compressive force across two adjacent structures disposed in between said two mating surfaces, wherein said non-uniform compressive force is capable of forming an anastomosis between said two adjacent structures.
