The FDA granted clearance for the Flexagon laparoscopic and endoscopic delivery system. Westwood, Massachusetts-based GI Windows designed its technology to employ magnetic anastomosis to enable less invasive surgery. It aims to develop the first fundamental breakthrough in anastomosis technology in both delivery and tissue fusion.

According to the company, the FDA clearance enables magnetic compression anastomosis with the self-aligning, sutureless, staple-free technology. Designed to facilitate anastomosis, it leaves behind no foreign material.
