Benchtop Study on MANTIS Clip Efficiency

This white paper presents a benchtop study comparing the Anchor-Mobilize-Close (AMC) approach using the MANTIS Clip to the traditional zipper technique for closing simulated tissue defects. Sixteen healthcare professionals participated in the study, each closing two synthetic tissue model defects using both methods in a randomized order. The study found that the AMC approach required an average of 4.3 fewer clips and reduced the closure time by 4.75 minutes compared to the zipper technique. The average defect size was 2.6 cm by 2.0 cm, and the results indicated that the AMC approach could lead to procedural efficiencies and potential economic benefits. The paper discusses the implications of these findings, including the estimated economic value of time saved during procedures. The study suggests that further clinical research is needed to validate these findings in real-world settings.
