C-REX®
With zero leakage in mind
We are aiming to improve
patient quality of life after colorectal cancer surgery
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

implant
C-REX® family devices help create a robust and adaptive anastomosis
without stapling or compression
throughout colon and rectum
