Providence, RI, July 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Signati Medical™, a medical device company dedicated to advancing men’s health, today announced the successful completion of enrollment in its Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of its proprietary Signati Separo™ Vessel Sealing System for vasectomy procedures.
This prospective IDE trial, initiated in April 2024 after receiving FDA approval, aimed to assess the Separo system’s ability to perform vasectomies with reduced procedure times and minimal invasiveness compared to traditional methods.
“We are pleased to announce the completion of enrollment for this groundbreaking clinical trial,” said William Prentice, CEO of Signati Medical. “The participation of all eight patients is a testament to the growing interest in faster and potentially less-burdensome vasectomy options.”
The study, designed as an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) trial with the FDA, enrolled eight patients in the United States. All participants underwent vasectomy procedures using the Separo system. The primary objectives focused on evaluating procedural safety, post-treatment effectiveness, and semen analysis following the procedure.
“The Separo system has the potential to improve the vasectomy experience for both patients and physicians significantly,” said Dr. Matthew Mutter of LSU Medical Center, principal investigator of the study. “To date, I have been impressed with the device's ease of use, and we expect final results to be available by the end of the year.”
Signati Medical anticipates submitting the complete data package to the FDA for regulatory approval in 2024. Upon approval, the Separo system would become the first major advancement in vasectomy technology in over four decades.
