In this paper, we propose a connection that replaces the conventional surgical knotting to improve the ease of procedure, to reduce surgical time, and to secure the connection of a magnetic anal sphincter.The magnetic anal sphincter is implanting device to prevent fecal incontinence of patients.The proposed connection has a kind of simple snap-fit made by 3D printing.This mechanism may help skilled surgeons reduce the time required to knot the magnetic sphincter device when he/she is implanting it on a patient.In addition, the 3D printed snap-fit connection allows even novices to perform the procedure easily and the connection is secure.
