GALWAY, Ireland - May 28, 2015 - PRLog -- Narvitas Medical Devices Limited, a NUIG Business Innovation Center based medical device company today announced that it has begun site recruitment for its SLAP Study, a multi-center, IDE based study to measure the clinical effectiveness and complication reduction in laparoscopic surgery access through the use of its innovative LapDome Laparoscopic Surgery Access Device.

Site recruitment is inclusive of the United States and Ireland.

LapDome utilizes a proprietary negative pressure application to the dome shaped device to create a temporary pneumoperitoneum into which inert gas can be delivered.  This process creates a rapid and safe access procedure.

The SLAP Study will measure safety parameters, as well as, access time, successful inflations with a single “stick”, reduction in bruising, and other risk management associated end points.

Glenn Foley, Narvitas Medical Device Ltd.’s Chief Executive Officer stated, “LapDome’s performance to date has been outstanding in reducing Laparoscopic Surgery access time and by the nature of its method, should reduce the potential for access complications and enhance overall patient safety and comfort.”

“While LapDome is a Class 1 device and does not require such study, the benefits of demonstrating its clinical and economic benefits under a protocol are acknowledged.”
