Punching device and method for punching a lumen and implanting an implant device

1. A punching device for punching a lumen, comprising:

an implant device including a cutting edge configured to punch a hole in the lumen, the implant device configured to be implanted into the lumen through the hole;

an implantation device coupled to the implant device, the implantation device configured to punch the implant device toward the lumen to cut the hole with the cutting edge and to position the implant device at least partially within hole by way of a forward motion, and the implantation device further configured to effectuate the implantation of the implant device into the after the lumen has been punched lumen by way of a return motion of at least one part of the implantation device;

a closure device coupled at least to the implantation device and including a spring, in a closed state of the closure device the spring is configured to generate a restoring force, and in an opened state of the closure device the closure device releases the restoring force, wherein the released restoring force is configured to effectuate the forward motion of the implantation device in order to punch the hole in the lumen with the cutting edge; and

an actuation device coupled to the closure device, wherein the actuation device is configured to bring about the opened state of the closure device and to effectuate the return motion of the implantation device in response to at least one actuation.

2. The punching device according to claim 1 , wherein the implantation device comprises at least one inner sleeve configured to guide the implant device and an outer sleeve configured to surround the implant device, and wherein the outer sleeve is further configured to surround the inner sleeve in an at least partially linearly movable manner.

3. The punching device according to claim 2 , wherein the outer sleeve is configured to carry out the return motion in order to effectuate the implantation of the implant device into the lumen after the lumen has been punched.

4. The punching device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an opening device coupled to the implantation device,

wherein the hole in the lumen is a first hole, and

wherein the opening device comprises at least one opening unit that is configured to open a second hole in the lumen before the cutting edge punches the first hole in the lumen in response to the forward motion.

5. The punching device according to claim 4 , wherein:

the opening unit comprises a barb configured to captively fix a lumen section of the lumen, which is to be punched out, during the punching of the first hole in the lumen by the cutting edge, and

the barb is further configured to remove the lumen section from the lumen during the return motion of the implantation device.

6. The punching device according to claim 4 , wherein the opening device is disposed at least partially in one or more of the implantation device and the implant device.

7. The punching device according to claim 1 , wherein the implant device comprises a mesh having shape memory.

8. The punching device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the closure device comprises a bayonet lock including a rotatable rotary element and a rotatable and linearly movable linear unit, and

the spring is loaded in a closed state of the bayonet lock in order to generate the restoring force.

9. The punching device according to claim 8 , wherein the bayonet lock is configured to be transferred from the closed state into the opened state by a rotation of the rotary element, and wherein the rotatable and linearly movable linear unit is configured such that, when the bayonet lock is transferred into the opened state, the rotatable and linearly movable linear unit executes a linear opening motion in the direction of an outlet opening of the punching device in order to effectuate the forward motion of the implantation device coupled to the rotatable and linearly movable linear unit.

10. The punching device according to claim 8 , wherein, in order to couple the closure device to the implantation device, at least one sleeve of the implantation device comprises at least one pin to be accommodated in at least one guide groove of the rotatable and linearly movable linear unit and/or the rotatable and linearly movable linear unit comprises at least the guide groove for accommodating the pin of the sleeve, and wherein the guide groove and the pin are configured such that, in the coupled state, the guide groove and the pin effectuate the return motion of the implantation device in response to the actuation of the actuation device after the lumen has been punched.

11. The punching device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation device comprises at least one rotary knob configured to effectuate the at least one actuation of the actuation device in response to a rotary actuation.

12. The punching device according to claim 1 , wherein the actuation device comprises at least one push-button configured to effectuate the at least one actuation of the actuation device in response to a push actuation.

13. The punching device according to claim 1 , wherein at least the implant device and the implantation device are disposed on one axis.
