C-REX®

With zero leakage in mind

THE CHALLENGE

In current clinical practice

stapling and suturing

are most common techniques for colorectal anastomosis

Colorectal surgeries globally per year

3.3M

8.6%*

Of surgeries will be complicated by anastomotic leakage

An estimate of $9bn will be spent annually worldwide to treat

complications of leakage **

The increasing number of adverse events after surgeries with stapling

is causing widespread concern ***

THE SOLUTION

Innovative
short-term 

implant

C-REX® family devices help create a robust and adaptive anastomosis

without stapling or compression

throughout colon and rectum

0413

Unique 

C-REX® catheter  system

For validation of anastomosis by

objective integrity pressure test and

precise X-ray visualization

during and after surgery

For all types of surgery

C-REX® family devices are designed for laparoscopic, robotic and open surgeries and all types of anastomoses
