Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of Seal-G MIST System in reinforcing colorectal anastomosis, in subjects undergoing colorectal surgery.
Detailed Description
Study procedures:
Pre-surgery:
- Screening will be performed among adult subjects who are scheduled for an elective colorectal surgery. Once potential eligibility to the study is determined based on the study's inclusion/exclusion criteria, study procedures will be explained to the candidate and participation will be offered.
- Informed consent process.
- Pre-surgery assessments will be according to the routine practice at the site and determined by the treating physician.
Intra-operative:
- During the surgery, after confirmation of the intra-operative exclusion criteria, completion of anastomosis creation and only after leak test was performed , subjects will be allocated to one of the two treatment arms with a 1:1 ratio based on a randomization scheme (either to the Standard of care (SOC) or to Seal-G MIST arms).
- Device (Seal-G MIST System) application (to Seal-G MIST treatment arm only).
Study Design
- Study Type
- Interventional
- Allocation
- Randomized
- Intervention Model
- Parallel
- Primary Purpose
- Treatment
- Masking
- Single (Participant)
Masking Description
This study is single blinded. The subject will be blinded to the treatment arm; however, by nature of the type of the proposed study, blinding of the investigator/ surgeon is not feasible. In order to minimize bias, subjects will be randomized during the surgery upon confirmation of the intra-operative exclusion criteria. This will ensure that the surgeon will not know prior to surgery and until completion of anastomosis creation, whether or not Seal-G MIST will be used.
