The REBUILD Trial: Closure of the Abdominal Wall
The main objective of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of REBUILD when used to support abdominal wall closure after laparotomy. The main question it aims to answer are whether the device when used to support suture in abdominal wall closure safely maintains apposition of the abdominis rectus muscles within a pre-defined distance. Participants will undergo standard of care laparotomy and the investigational device will be used to support the suture used to close the abdominal wall. Participants will have an MRI at 1-month after surgery to measure the distance between the abdominus rectus muscles.
