Abstract
A tissue bonding implantation device includes an internal drainage tube having an internal surface and an external surface, an inflatable balloon in the shape of a toroid encircling the outer surface of the internal drainage tube, and a balloon inflation conduit in fluid communication with an interior of the inflatable balloon. A transcutaneous sleeve in the form of a tube having an internal diameter allows the sleeve to fit over the external surface of the internal drainage tube, and the sleeve includes a horizontal flange positioned at a top edge of the sleeve.
