Recruiting NA Hernia

Tests treatment safety and results for Hernia

Official title AtraUmatic Laparoscopic HerNia Repair Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of The ECLIPSIUM System for Mesh Fixation IDE

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07277946

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and performance of the ECLIPSIUM device in securing mesh during ventral hernia repair. The study will evaluate whether ECLIPSIUM, a bioresorbable polymer-based fixation device, is effective in reducing the risk of hernia recurrence when compared with bioresorbable tacks.

  • Patient has more than one hernia defect (single hernia defect between 1-5 cm in diameter from outer edged to outer edge to be confirmed intraoperatively).
  • Patient has areas of weakness, independent from the hernia to be treated, in the area covered by mesh or mesh-adjacent tissues (to be confirmed intraoperatively).
  • Patient with a complex hernia, likely not eligible for laparoscopic repair, as determined by the Investigator (ex. small bowel resection; to be confirmed intraoperatively).
  • Patient is scheduled for an additional surgery within 6 weeks after the index-procedure or has undergone surgery within 90 days before the index-procedure.
  • Patient has severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
