Device: Seal-G Surgical Sealant
Device: Seal-G MIST System
Registration Number

Brief Summary

A prospective, multi-center, open label, study to evaluate safety and performance of Seal-G and Seal-G MIST in reinforcing colonic anastomosis, in subjects undergoing Colon Resection surgery

Detailed Description

Seal-G and Seal-G MIST Surgical Sealants are intended for the reinforcement and protection of gastrointestinal anastomosis. The Seal-G and Seal-G MIST devices share the same Alginate based sealant technology and intended purpose. The devices only differ in their method of application, The Seal-G device is designed for spread application by extra-corporal approach, and the Seal-G MIST device is designed for spray application by intra-corporal approach.

The proposed Clinical Investigation aims to collect clinical evidence on the devices' usage, including safety, performance and usability.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of surgeries with full sealant coverage - successful applicationAt time of surgery

1- The surgeon applied the sealant over the full circumference of the anastomosis (successful application).

0 - The surgeon did not fully cover the anastomosis circumference

Secondary Outcome Measures
