Clinical Trial Summary

A PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMIZED, CONTROLLED STUDY TO EVALUATE DEVICE EFFICACY BETWEEN THE HELIXAR ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR (HEG) VS. CONVENTIONAL ELECTROSURGICAL COAGULATION (CEC) FOR CUTTING AND/OR COAGULATION OF TISSUE DURING MASTECTOMY PROCEDURES


Description:

The objective of this study is to evaluate device efficacy between the HelixAR Electrosurgical Generator (HEG) and Conventional Electrosurgical Coagulation (CEC) Systems for cutting and/or coagulation of tissue during mastectomy procedures and reconstructive surgery. The study is designed and powered to demonstrate the superiority of the HEG to CEC in relation to a key efficacy measure: post-mastectomy procedure time to hemostasis. Secondary outcome measures include: infection, drain duration, total drain output, blood loss, and device related adverse events. These outcomes will be evaluated in a controlled population undergoing mastectomy procedures.
