The THD GateKeeper® surgical device consists of an implant system called Delivery System and of 6 Dispensers containing an equal number of self-expanding sterile prostheses.
Each dispenser is equipped with a cannula for inserting the implants in the intersphincteric space. The THD Gatekeeper® sterile implants are inserted between the internal and external anal sphincter through the specific Delivery System.
Delivery System and Dispenser, in combination with the EAUS Module for verifying the correct positioning of the prosthesis, allow performing the surgical procedure THD GateKeeper® without the need for additional equipment.

The THD GateKeeper® prostheses are made with a self-expanding material, equipped with a shape memory. This material is able to grow in volume through the absorption of body fluids.
After 24-48 hours from implantation, the prostheses expand by absorbing the physiological fluids and increase their volume up to 550% of their original size.
