A Prospective, Multi-Center Evaluation of the ENSEAL X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Colectomy; Gynecological; Thoracic
Registration Number
NCT03441178
Lead Sponsor
Ethicon Endo-Surgery
Brief Summary

This prospective, single-arm, multi-center, evaluation will collect clinical data in a post-market setting. The three types of procedures studied will be colectomy, gynecological, and thoracic. Investigators will perform each procedure using the device in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the ENSEAL X1 instructions for use.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to prospectively generate device specific clinical data related to hemostasis in a post-market setting using the ENSEAL X1 per its instructions for use. There will be no blinding or planned interim analysis in this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of Vessels Where Hemostasis (<= Grade 3) is Achieved Using ENSEAL X1Intraoperative, after vessel has been transected

* Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site;

* Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed;

* Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of monopolar device and/or touch-ups with ENSEAL X1;

* Grade 4: significant bleeding (e.g., pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or ligation with additional hemostatic products (e.g., hemoclips, staples, sutures, fibrin sealants, other advanced energy products).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Hemostasis Grade 4 Transections and Hemostatic Interventions UsedIntraoperative, after vessel has been transected

* Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site;

* Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed;

* Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of monopolar device and/or touch-ups with ENSEAL X1;

* Grade 4: significant bleeding (e.g., pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or ligation with additional hemostatic products (e.g., hemoclips, staples, sutures, fibrin sealants, other advanced energy products).

Hemostasis Grading Assessment for Each Vessel TransectionIntraoperative, after vessel has been transected

* Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site;

* Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed;

* Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of monopolar device and/or touch-ups with ENSEAL X1;

* Grade 4: significant bleeding (e.g., pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or ligation with additional hemostatic products (e.g., hemoclips, staples, sutures, fibrin sealants, other advanced energy products).

Number of Grade 3 Vessels Needing ENSEAL X1 Touch-upIntraoperative, after vessel has been transected

* Grade 1: no bleeding at transection site;

* Grade 2: minor bleeding at transection site, no intervention needed;

* Grade 3: minor bleeding at transection site, mild intervention needed, use of monopolar device and/or touch-ups with ENSEAL X1;

* Grade 4: significant bleeding (e.g., pulsatile blood flow, venous pooling) requiring intervention such as extensive coagulation or ligation with additional hemostatic products (e.g., hemoclips, staples, sutures, fibrin sealants, other advanced energy products).
