Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
37 words
A prosthesis consisting of a heterologous collagen tube for use in hollow organ sutures, characterised by being of tubular form with frusto-conical ends and provided with an annular rim in an intermediate position, and by being radiopaque.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
A prosthesis consisting of a heterologous collagen tube for use in hollow organ sutures, characterised by being of tubular form with frusto-conical ends and provided with an annular rim in an intermediate position, and by being radiopaque.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that said tube has a cylindrical inner surface (1) and an outer surface (2) with frusto-conical ends.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised by having a length of between 15 and 150 mm and an inner diameter of between 2 and 14 mm.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised by having an outer diameter of between 10 and 20 mm at its ends and between 20 and 50 mm in its intermediate position.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that said annular rim (3) has a thickness of between 1 and 2 mm and projects by between 2 to 3 mm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that said radiopacity is obtained by inserting a radiopaque wire into the collagen.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that said radiopacity is obtained by mixing barium sulphate into the collagen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised by being completed by a strip of collagen to be wrapped around the suture in the manner of a band.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 8, characterised in that said collagen strip has a thickness of between 1 and 2 mm and a width of between 20 and 30 mm.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
28 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised in that said collagen is of lyophilized type, reabsorbable by lysis in a time of not less than three days.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised by containing, adsorbed on its surface, substances such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, hormones, bonding substances and cicatrization factors.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
28 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised by being integrated with systems for checking the cicatrization regularity, with tagged systems, with enzymatic systems or with cellular systems.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
30 words
A prosthesis as claimed in claim 1, characterised by being previously inserted into other parts of the body, to be epithelized, endothelized or covered with a fibrinous or fibrous substance.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
30 words
A prosthesis consisting of a heterologous collagen tube for use in hollow organ sutures, as claimed in claims 1 to 13 and as described and illustrated for the specified objects.
