Closure of Mucosal and Submucosal Defects in the Gastrointestinal Tract Using the Novel X-Tack Endoscopic Suturing Device
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating X-Tack and Overstitch for Polyp of Colon and Fistula. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
After removing large polyps from the gastrointestinal tract, gastroenterologists close the new defect with devices to prevent complications like bleeding or the development of a leak. Commonly, this is done with a device called Overstitch, which allows the gastroenterologist to stitch the defect with an endoscope. A new device called X-tack has been developed to simplify endoscopic stitching. In this study, the new X-tack device will be compared to Overstitch when closing defects in the gastrointestinal tract. The two devices will be compared to see how long it takes to close a defect, as well as if there are any differences in complications like bleeding or infection.
