AmnioSurge Colorectal Anastomosis Support Graft
Harnessing the power of amniotic tissue and surgeon designed innovation to support colorectal anastomosis
A Protective Barrier for Colorectal Procedures
AmnioSurge is a sterile, human amniotic membrane allograft derived from donated placental tissue.
AmnioSurge™ ASG
Composed of full-thickness amnion and chorion, AmnioSurge provides a robust extracellular matrix-rich membrane designed for surgical use. Native amniotic tissue contains extracellular matrix components, including collagens, fibronectin and laminin. The graft is processed under aseptic conditions, lyophilized to preserve structural integrity and gamma-irradiated for sterility.
Full-Thickness Amnion/Chorion:
A natural, extracellular matrix-rich membrane derived from donated placental tissue.
Novel Lyophilization:
Lyophilization process preserves natural biologic scaffold properties.
Conformable Placement:
The graft integrates into the anastomosis without compromising the workflow. No pre- or post-application hydration required.
A First Look at Using AmnioSurge in Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal Anastomosis Complications Remain a High-Stakes Challenge
Anastomotic leak remains one of the most consequential complications in colorectal surgery. Despite advances in minimally invasive surgery, perfusion assessment technologies, stapling systems, and ERAS protocols, published colorectal anastomotic leak rates continue to range from approximately 3% to 15% depending on procedure type and anastomotic location.†
When a leak occurs, the consequences can include sepsis/peritonitis, reoperation, ICU utilization, prolonged length of stay, readmission, delayed recovery, and higher all-cause mortality. In oncologic patients, disruption of the postoperative course may also delay adjuvant therapy which negatively affects survival rates and increases cancer recurrence.
