European ColoSeal™ ICD System Safety and Feasibility Study
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the ColoSeal ICD System in a prospective, multicenter, single-arm study. The ColoSeal ICD System is intended to be used to protect a damaged segment of colon such as a surgical anastomosis, anastomosis leak, or perforation from contact with fecal flow for up to 21 days. The device will be evaluated in adult patients with rectal and rectosigmoid cancer undergoing a resection with a colorectal anastomosis.
• Subject is 18-65 years of age at screening, or subject is 66-70 years of age at screening with up to one cardiovascular, metabolic or pulmonary comorbidity for which medication is prescribed.
• Subject is diagnosed with rectosigmoid or rectal cancer
• Subject is scheduled for elective resection, either open, laparoscopic or robotic with mesorectal excision (either abdominal or transanal approach) which will require the creation of an anastomosis and protective ostomy (anastomosis maximally 15 cm from the anal verge).
• The subject has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent, approved by the appropriate Medical Ethics Committee (EC) or Institutional Review Board (IRB).
• Subject must be willing and able to comply with study follow-up requirements.
