Post-market Clinical Follow-up Study of Reusable Clip Applier Cartridge Devices for LAParoscopic Surgery

This is a Post-Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) investigation to determine the long-term effectiveness and safety of the Multi-Fire Clip System in laparoscopic surgery. This system consists of two medical devices, the M/L-10 Clip Applier and the M/L-10 Clip. The Multi-Fire Clip System is indicated for occluding and ligating vessels, ducts, tracts and other tubular structures during laparoscopic and general surgical procedures. This medical device has been marketed in Europe since 2006 and in the United States since 2002, among other places. Laparoscopic surgeries have become the standard of excellence for many surgical procedures as they allow the intervention to be performed in a minimally invasive way, which means significant improvements in factors such as postoperative pain or length of hospital stay compared to open surgeries. Laparoscopic procedures require the use of different hemostatic techniques to minimize blood loss or leakage of other fluids through their respective ducts. Currently, clip and staple placement are the most commonly used procedures for ligation and/or occlusion of blood vessels and other tubular structures. In this context, the Multi-Fire Clip System is presented as an alternative device that can produce significant cost savings due to the reusable design of the M/L-10 Clip Applier. It also provides precise control of bleeding during surgery, which could lead to less potential injury to surrounding structures. The present clinical trial is a PMCF study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the Multi-Fire Clip System in patients scheduled to undergo laparoscopic surgery in which clip placement is anticipated. During the surgery procedure, the necessary clips will be placed using the aforementioned multi-shot clip system. Participants will be followed up for 6 months after the operation. Through an on-site visit and a telephone call visit, data on possible adverse events related to the device or procedure will be collected in order to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of these devices.
