Abstract
The invention relates to medical devices, in particular condoms/drains, that find use in anastomosis. Thus the present invention relates to these medical devices per se, to a medical kit comprising these medical devices, to the use of these medical devices, to a method for medical treatment involving application of these medical devices to an organism who is in need thereof as well as to the use of certain biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic polymers in the preparation of a medical device for the treatment of a disease or a condition which requires anastomosis. The medical devices of the present invention are typically condom shaped and are used for the protection of anastomosis. The devices comprise a tubular shaped part which is made of a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer. The devices may be applied by stapling.
