AlpiTube™
Anastomotic Leak Prevention Percutanous Ileostomy
Innovative strategy to protect complex anastomoses in colorectal surgery.
AlpiTube™ system – Establishment of a new "Golden Standard" With 1.36 million rectal cancers worldwide every year, this type of cancer ranks 3 of the most common cancers. The required oncological rectum resection poses a risk of anastomotic dehiscence/insufficiency (10% - 35%) in the postoperative course. This possible clinically relevant impact is almost 100% prevented with the creation of a temporary ileostomy. AlpiTube™Concept opens up an innovative and gentler way for postoperative treatment after oncological rectum resection.
Advantages of the AlpiTube™ concept
• No additional burden of a second operationfor the return of the temporary
Stomas – removal of the AlpiTube™ during the primary hospital stay
•Reduced effort in aftercareof patients during and after
stationary stay
•Elimination of the classic stoma-related complications(parastomal hernias, ileus,
wound infection, small bowel necrosis in obese patients, etc.)
•In each phase there is the possibility of standardized treatment methods
(vacuum therapy, over-stitching) for anastomotic insufficiency.
•Minimized psychological burden and maximum quality of life improvement
after the procedure for the patient
•Maximum allowed implantation time of the AlpiTube™ : 29 days
