Official title
Evaluation of an Endoscopic Suturing System for Tissue Apposition
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective of this feasibility trial is to evaluate the Ethicon Endo-Surgery Endoscopic Suturing System (ESS) for tissue apposition and reduction of the size of a dilated GJ anastomosis in subjects who are regaining weight after successful weight loss following gastric bypass. Post-procedure weight will be followed to assess whether weight loss is resumed. The ESS is an FDA-cleared (510(k)) sterile, single-use, disposable suturing system indicated for endoscopic placement of suture(s) and approximation of soft tissues. It is designed to facilitate endoscopic gastrointestinal procedures.
