The REBUILD Trial (Protocol CTP-0002) is an investigational medical device study designed to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of REBUILD for abdominal wall closure (AWC). The primary evaluation period will include the first 30 days of follow up. After the 1-month endpoint evaluation period, additional follow-up at 3, 6, 12, and 24-months for post-market analysis and publication will be conducted. All adverse events will be collected and reported for the full duration of the study.~Primary efficacy endpoint will be evaluated based on the measured distance between the rectus abdominis muscles (RAMs) by MRI at 1-month (Day 30 +14/-7 days) post-surgery (Day 0).~Primary safety endpoint will be evaluated based on reported serious device-related adverse events through 1-month (Day 30 +14/-7 days) of follow-up.
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.
