Automated assembly is thereby facilitated with each longitudinal half including a "crown" of these arcuate members arranged in a cylindrical patten with equally spaced curved points and overlapping ends. Molded arcuate members with integral hinges further enhance assembly and provide other advantages, especially when implanted with an applier capable of actuating the anastomotic ring device.1/9 FIG. 1 12 /10 1214 16
