ColoSeal Device Study for Rectal Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new device called the ColoSeal ICD System that may help protect the reconnection of your bowel after surgery for rectosigmoid or rectal cancer. It is designed for people who are already scheduled for surgery that includes a temporary colostomy or ileostomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
This trial tests a device called Colovac that protects the connection made during colon surgery for cancer. It may help patients who need a temporary colostomy bag heal better.
This trial tests a new system that monitors healing inside the body after surgery for colorectal cancer. It is designed to help doctors detect problems early and keep you safe.
This trial is studying how often leaks happen after colorectal surgery that connects two parts of the intestine. It may help doctors better understand and prevent this complication.
This trial tests if adding a continuous circular reinforcement to the surgical connection (anastomosis) during laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery can reduce complications. It is for people with mid to upper rectal cancer that can be removed by surgery.
This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
