Evaluation of the SafeHeal Colovac+ Anastomosis Protection Device: A Preclinical Study

Abstract: Background The protective ostomy is the current standard of care to protect a low colorectal anastomosis from leakage, but exposes patients to complications requiring an alternative strategy. The Colovac+ is a vacuum-based intraluminal bypass device designed to shield the anastomosis from fecal content, preventing the clinical outcomes of anastomotic leakage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety, and technical feasibility of the Colovac+ in a porcine model. Methods: Twe… Show more

“…In response to these issues, many scholars have innovated various techniques to reduce complications like anastomotic stula and stricture, such as Cai's intestinal diversion stent, the sac rectal drainage tube, the condom connection method for intestinal bypass, and the sheathed ileostomy technique [25][26][27][28][29][30]. However, these have not been reported for use in Ta_tme surgery.…”

“…The CD is a sterile, single‐use, temporary intraluminal faecal bypass device composed of one introducer pre‐loaded with the CD (Figure 1) [28]. The CD includes two components (Figure 1): an anchor consisting of a 100‐mm length covered double stent delimiting a vacuum chamber connected to two vacuum tubes; a flexible 600‐mm length sheath attached to the anchor covering the anastomosis.…”
