摘要
Improvements to external stents to render incompetent venous valves competent are disclosed. The device is an inelastic bio-compatible cuff that encircles the venous valve cusps decreasing the internal diameter of the vein wall to allow apposition of the cusps and create competence. The improvements over previous designs include the addition of calibrated known diameters to create competence for different phenotypes. The different diameters are indicated by holes in the body. The buckle attachment allows the body of the device to become conical or inverted to become pyramidal as appropriate. The buckle is wider than prior art designs to allow the device to become elliptical at smaller diameters. The angle of the notches in the device are approximately 150 to allow better overriding at the sapheno-femoral junction which allowing for better competence of the valve.
