MagDI Italian Study

The objective of the MagDI Italy Study is to evaluate the feasibility / performance, safety, and initial efficacy of the MagDI System in eligible participants who are indicated for a duodeno-ileal (small bowel) side-to-side anastomosis procedure for partial intestinal diversion (e.g., one example of a small bowel clinical procedure requiring a side-to-side anastomosis).

The objective of the MagDI Italy Study is to evaluate the feasibility / performance, safety, and initial efficacy of the MagDI System in eligible participants who are indicated for a duodeno-ileal (small bowel) side-to-side anastomosis procedure for partial intestinal diversion (e.g., one example of a small bowel clinical procedure requiring a side-to-side anastomosis). The partial diversion of intestinal contents from the duodenum to the ileum via side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy is intended to facilitate weight management / loss in obese adults and improve metabolic outcomes in obese adults with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Side-to-side anastomoses are currently created by sutures, staples, and anastomotic compression devices. The most common side-to-side anastomosis technique used today is stapling, requiring cutting of the intestines and staples remain behind in the body. Linear staplers are available in different sizes (e.g., 30mm, 45mm, 50mm, 60mm). A predicate for this side-to-side duodeno-ileostomy diversion procedure is the single-anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy (SADI) procedure.
