COLORECTAL ANASTOMOSIS LEAK TESTERS

Standardize and facilitate the intraoperative air leak test for colorectal anastomoses

“Intraoperative anastomotic leak testing should be performed to help identify an anastomosis at increased risk of a subsequent clinical leak.” ²⁰

“Routine testing of colorectal anastomoses reduces the postoperative leak rate.” ²²

The value of pressure-controlled intraoperative anastomosis leak testing has been recognized by experts in the field.^{3,9,10,13,15,26,28}

Anastomosis Leak Tester-EX-OP and Anastomosis Leak Tester-EX-LP are designed to test anastomoses to the left colon or rectum. For anastomoses to the rectum, the 4 cm Extender Tip may be preferred. For anastomoses just above the rectosigmoid junction, the 10 cm Extender Tip may be preferred. For higher anastomoses, the 25 cm Extender Tip may be preferred. The 25 cm or 10 cm Extender Tips are used for bowel deflation.
