Initial Safety of SFM Plus OTOLoc for Creating Side-to-side or End-to-side Colorectal Anastomoses

Safety and Device Functionality of the Flexagon Self Forming Magnet Anastomosis Plus OTOLoc for Creating Ileo-colic, Colo-colonic and Colorectal Anastomoses in Patients Undergoing Surgical Procedures

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The primary objective of this trial is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the Flexagon 25mm SFM system plus OTOLoc when used to create a side-to-side Ileo-colic, Colo-colonic and side-to-side or end-to-side colorectal anastomoses in participants undergoing colon surgery. This will be evaluated via a composite safety/effectiveness endpoint of patient success defined as successful creation of the target anastomosis without placement procedure, device or target anastomosis related reoperation through 30 days.
