Exero Medical Completes First In-Human Implant of Wireless Anastomotic Leak Sensor

Wxero Medical, developer of a wireless sensor for early detection of anastomotic leaks following GI surgery, announced it has completed the first human implantation of its sensor.

The implant procedure was part of an ongoing clinical trial conducted at Rabin Medical Center led by Prof. Nir Wasserberg, chairman of the Israel CRS society and director of colorectal division.

The surgeons involved in the trial have also reported positive feedback on the Exero sensor's easy integration into the patient workflow during the procedure. As a result of the sensor's design and materials, surgeons are able to add the sensor implantation to current operating procedure with minimal added time and negligible added risk to the patient.
