AE05ML Device for ML Hem-o-lok Polymer Clip Delivery in Laparoscopic Surgical Procedures Observational Registery Study

The objective of this clinical registry study is to evaluate safety and performance of the Weck® Auto Endo5® 5 mm automatic endoscopic 35 cm applier device (Teleflex Incorporated, Morrisville, NC, USA - further referred to as AE05ML) for delivery of Hem-o-lok® Medium Large (ML) polymer clips for the purpose of vessel / tissue structure ligation in laparoscopic surgery. This is a prospective, observational, multi-center, clinical registry study. All subjects will undergo vessel / tissue structure ligation using AE05ML during their indicated laparoscopic procedure as per standard of care and institutional policy and procedure.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and performance of AE05ML for delivery of ML Hem-o-lok polymer clips for the purpose of vessel / tissue structure ligation in adult subjects during laparoscopic procedures.

Primary Endpoints

• Safety: Incidence of device related adverse events (AE)
• Performance: Success / Failure of polymer clip delivery attempts The secondary objectives are to evaluate device performance characteristics and operator reported feedback regarding their experience using the device for each case.

Secondary Endpoint

• Results of Device Performance and Operator Feedback Questionnaire
