NCT ID NCT06915818
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new magnetic device (Flexagon SFM) to connect parts of the colon after surgery, instead of traditional stitches or staples. About 65 adults undergoing colon surgery will receive the device via laparoscopy or endoscopy. The goal is to see if the magnetic connection is safe and effective, reducing the need for repeat surgeries.

What this could lead to
If successful, this magnetic device could offer a safer, less invasive way to reconnect the colon after surgery, reducing the need for repeat operations.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 65 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device could fail to create a proper connection or cause complications.
