NiTi™ Surgical Solutions has created a revolution in tissue reconeection for GI surgeries. Efficiency and smart engineering have united to produce a range of innovative, simple mechanical tissue-closure devices.

 

Features

Anastomosis performed with NiTi's BioDynamix Anastomosis technology has been proven safe and effective in clinical and pre-clinical trials. A number of studies and clinical trials, in addition to data from over 8,000 cases have resulted in peer-reviewed publications and a summary of company data.

The ring and clip are designed to exploit the natural human necrosis process.

Unlike stapling, which places staples permanently in the body, the ring or the clip are completely expelled through the digestive system within approximately 1 month.

The key components of the rings and the clips are made from Nitinol, a flexible shape memory alloy with strong biocompatibility and biomechanical compatibility.

NiTi's ring and clip appliers use a simple operating sequence.

The appliers are ergonomically designed for a comfortable, steady grip.

The NiTi™ product family of rings, clips, and appliers are tailored for a variety of surgical procedures, including open, laparoscopic or hand-assisted laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Benefits

For the patient (as indicated by patient studies)

Safe - Complete clip or ring expulsion, minimized invasiveness and reduced trauma to the anastomosis make the device safe and effective.

Natural healing - Trials indicate optimal anastomotic outcomes:

• Full recovery of multi-layer bowel structure
• Full circumfurential, hemostatic sealed anastomosis
• Time zero anastomotic burst strength up to three times stronger than circular staplers
• Preservation of natural lumen size
• Creation of a seamless anastomotic line

For the surgeon

Easy to use - The appliers' design makes the instruments extremely easy to use with minimal training required and virtually no learning curve.

Innovation - The devices are engineered for use in emerging techniques such as advanced colectomies.

For procurement organizations

Less inventory - One ring size (27mm) and one clip size (30mm) replace a number of competitive sizes (25-34mm).

 

The ColonRing doesn’t eliminate the complications associated with the surgery or the anastomosis, which may include leakage, stricture, bleeding, septic complications, extra-colonic complications and others, which are the same to those reported with other methods (e.g. staplers).
