Abstract
Abstract An anastomosis clamp which includes a first clamping collar including a first sleeve having an annular flange formed on one end and overlying said first sleeve in spaced relation. A second clamping collar is provided which has a second sleeve having an annular flange formed on one end and overlying said second sleeve with the second sleeve slidable on said first sleeve with said flanges in opposed relationship for clamping bowel members therebetween. Apparatus is included for drawing the flanges together in clamping relationship and for holding the flanges in open spaced relationship. One flange has two holes in which supply tubes are positioned whereby a fluid such as an antibiotic can be introduced interiorally of the flanges. One or more of the flanges has a drain hole whereby the antibiotic can travel to points exteriorally of the clamp.
