A modular surgical kit for repair of diseased cartilage at an articulating surface of a joint and a design method for a modular surgical kit are disclosed. The modular surgical kit is adapted for removal of damage cartilage and bone and also adapted for insertion of a medical implant a grafted plug or an artificial plug having an implant body with a predetermined cross-sectional profile and adapted for guiding insert tools during repair of diseased cartilage at an articulating surface of a joint. The modular surgical kit includes an implant, and a medical implant a grafted plug or an artificial plug having an implant body with a predetermined cross-sectional profile a guide base having a positioning body with a guide hole through said positioning body and a guide body with a guide channel, the guide channel having a cross-sectional profile that is designed to correspond to the cross-sectional profile of the implant body and having a muzzle. The modular surgical kit includes a drill adjustment device being arranged to enable adjustment of the drill depth. The positioning body has a cartilage contact surface that is designed to fit the contour of cartilage or subchondral bone in the joint in a predetermined area surrounding the site of diseased cartilage. The guide hole has a muzzle on the cartilage contact surface at a position corresponding to the site of the diseased cartilage. The positioning body includes a device for releasably connecting to the guide body such that, when connected, the guide channel is positioned in relation to the positioning body such that its muzzle emanates at a site corresponding to the site of implantation into the bone.

An implant for percutaneous implantation through the abdominal wall for encircling and engaging an externalized length of a body duct of a human or animal patient. The implant has an exterior ring section protruding outwardly from the abdominal wall with a free end which serves for mounting of a detachable device, and an interior section extending through the abdominal wall and inside the patient for internal fixation of the implant. The exterior ring section and interior section have a common axis. The internal circumference of at least a part of the exterior ring section above the interior section is arranged with a biocompatible, integrated ingrowth means for the exterior surface of the body duct wall.

Implant and method for its manufacture

A percutaneous implant serves for implantation into an animal or a human body. The implant is of the kind that has an anchoring section, extending radially from a distal end of an interior section. 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 connecting the inner anchoring ring with the outer anchoring ring. Since a first connection point between a first end of the at least one connection member and the inner anchoring ring is angularly offset from a second connection point between a second end of the connection member and the outer anchoring ring, the anchoring section constitutes a resilient spring means, which adapts to the movements of the body. The implant is especially designed for use without externalization of the vessel to be brought into communication with the exterior.

The invention relates to an adapter attached to a human or animal body at a stoma, a detachable lid on the adapter, and a connector for connecting an ostomy bag to the adapter. The adapter includes a protruding section extending from the stoma, and a member for mounting a detachable lid onto the end of the protruding section. The adapter and lid are arranged such that the lid can be slid onto and off the adapter in a direction relatively perpendicular to the axis of the protruding section of the adapter. The connector is arranged to connect the ostomy bag to the adapter and to slide the lid off the adapter. In this way, there is no risk of odors or waste leaking from the adapter or the ostomy bag while the bag is being connected to the adapter.
