Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Prospective, Multi-Center Evaluation of the ENSEAL X1 Large Jaw Tissue Sealer (NCT NCT03441178)

NCT ID: NCT03441178

Last Updated: 2020-09-16

Results Overview

* 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).
