Read the detailed description

This study entitled, An Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of the CleanCision Wound Retraction and Protection System in Protecting Surgical Incisions from Intraoperative Contamination When Used during Colorectal Surgery, is designed to evaluate bacterial contamination at the wound incision site when the CleanCision is used during surgery. The CleanCision is a surgical tool that is designed to be used for the primary purpose of protecting the wound from contamination that occurs to the incision site during surgery ultimately reducing the occurrence of Surgical Site Infections (SSI).

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm (non-randomized) clinical study.

  2. Safety (Serious Adverse Events Directly Attributable to the Device)

    Incidence of Serious Adverse Events directly attributable to the device

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Efficacy (Bacterial Contamination on the Exposed Surface of the CleanCision Sheath Compared to the Protected Incision Edge)

    Comparison of bacterial contamination on the exposed surface of the CleanCision sheath compared to the protected incision edge
