COR-KNOT Versus Manually Hand-tied Knots

NCT02720913 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2017-02-10

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The COR-KNOT technology (LSI SOLUTIONS, Victor, New York USA) was developed to replace suture tying with a faster procedure during surgery. While preclinical studies confirmed the speed of COR-KNOT use, no clinical studies have quantitatively compared the speed of suture fixation delivered by the COR-KNOT device with the speed of conventional hand-tied knots. COR-KNOT is expensive, costing 189 $ per application. Given this added expense, it is important to quantify the time-saved by application of this technology.

Conditions

  • Suture Tying

Interventions

DEVICE

COR-KNOT

The COR-KNOT device was developed to make suture fixation faster and save operative time. With a single squeeze of the lever, the device remotely and automatically secures sutures with a titanium fastener, while also simultaneously trimming excess suture tails.
