Method And Apparatus For Securing A Prosthesis To The Human Body
US Patent:
4753656, Jun 28, 1988
Filed:
May 15, 1987
Appl. No.:
7/049943
Inventors:
Joshua J. Tofield - Tucson AZ

International Classification:
A61F 210
US Classification:
623 15
Abstract:
The method comprises inserting a securing device with skin graft wrapped therearound through an incision in the skin to a subcutaneous region of the body. The skin graft has its epidermis facing the securing device and is joined to the body surface skin at the incision to form a pouch for containing the securing device. The prosthesis is then attached to the securing device. The device comprises a base member for subcutaneous disposition and a post on the base extending to the surface of the body skin. An opening through the post and the base member facilitates attaching the prosthesis to the securing device and permits the pouch to be irrigated by forcing fluid through the opening. Channels in the surface of the base of the device disburse irrigation fluid throughout the pocket for effective cleansing of the pouch. Ridges formed on the post and the base inhibit contractural growth of the pouch from sealing against the securing device and preventing irrigation.
