Abstract
Described are surgical hand tools to facilitate the proper implantation beneath the outer layer of ductus to include vessels, the trachea, esophagus, and ureters, as well as glands, organs, or other tissue of medicinal, magnetically susceptible, magnetized, and/or radiation-emitting stays, or ribs—arcuate bands sized in proportion to the substrate structure which incorporate substances for implantation toward the surface of the substrate. Stay insertion tools allow access to and expedite stay insertion into deeper tissue through a small, or 'keyhole' incision at the body surface, eliminating the need for more extensive incision, reducing procedural duration, and can coat each stay with medication and/or an adhesive as each is ejected. Susceptible and magnetized stays allow extraluminal stenting, which avoids the lumen, allowing the in situ treatment of a ductus which malacotic, infected, or otherwise diseased, would likely incur incisions, perforations, and/or abrasions during transluminal treatment.
