MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GT Metabolic™ Solutions, Inc., a company dedicated to reinventing bariatric, metabolic, and digestive surgery, today announced its first-generation MagDI™ System for side-to-side duodeno-ileal anastomosis was granted De Novo marketing authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
“Creating a secure anastomosis free of complications bleeds or leaks is the goal of any minimally invasive surgical approach,” said Michel Gagner, MD, and Co-Founder of GT Metabolic. “Magnetic compression anastomosis is designed to allow for more consistent tissue alignment, central necrosis, and circumferential healing while leaving no foreign materials behind to impede the natural tissue healing process.”
Traditional anastomotic devices like staples or sutures can be difficult to apply in confined spaces during minimally invasive surgical procedures and can cause trauma by cutting or piercing the bowel tissue and leaves foreign material behind. Magnetic compression anastomosis is designed to: mitigate the need for incision to the bowel, reduce user technical variability during a procedure, and be naturally excreted from the body.
To date, seven peer-reviewed publications have been completed, including most recently a multi-center clinical consisting of 43 patients conducted by Gagner et al. which demonstrated no anastomotic leaks, bleeds, or obstruction in duodeno-ileal side-to-side anastomosis in bariatric and metabolic procedures. “Side-to-Side Magnetic Duodeno-Ileostomy in Adults with Severe Obesity with or without Type 2 Diabetes: Early Outcomes with Prior or Concurrent Sleeve Gastrectomy in the journal Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases” was published in November 2023 in the ASMBS journal for Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases (SOARD).
Future planned studies may be able to broaden improvements in patient outcomes and potentially reach more patients with this less invasive anastomotic approach. Gagner said, “This technology has the potential to offer new standards of care in many procedures.”
“Obtaining Medical Device De Novo Classification to market our platform in just four years following the company’s inception is incredible. This was achieved due to the vision of the founders and the focus and leadership of the management team and its investors who support and share our dream to democratize anastomosis technique,” said Thierry Thaure, CEO, and Co-Founder, GT Metabolic.
Thaure went on to say, “The MagDI™ System offers the concept, for the first time, to democratize the surgical approach to anastomosis, enabling surgeons to potentially achieve a more consistent outcome in a less invasive and potentially less expensive solution. We are looking forward to worldwide launch of our incisionless anastomosis system later this year.”
“Surgeons are going to like this technology,” said Gagner.
