Clinical Evidence

The study is conducted on up to 20 patients suffering from Accidental Bowel Leakage (ABL)/Fecal Incontinence (FI) due to bowel incontinence. The Israel Ministry of Health (MOH) approved initial treatment on 5 patients for the pilot study. Approval to continue the study was granted following interim preliminary safety analysis on the first 5 cases.

Study objectives

  • Primary:
    To demonstrate the safety of the ForConti Fecal Incontinence Management System (FIMS)

  • Secondary:
    To demonstrate improvements in fecal incontinence management with the use of Contix™.

 

Duration

Duration of the study for each patient was up to 7 weeks, including telephone follow-up.

  • Adjustment Phase (up to 1 week):
    use of ForConti System, daily bowel records

  • Control Phase (weeks 2-3):
    no use of ForConti System, daily bowel records

  • Treatment Phase (weeks 4-5):
    Use of ForConti System, daily bowel records

  • Telephone Follow-up (weeks 6-7)

 

 

The primary end-point of the pilot study was achieved successfully, demonstrating the safety of the ForConti device in the intended population. No safety issues were identified in the study.

The results demonstrate that in those patients able to use the device as intended, Contix™ was effective in preventing ABL during the treatment period with the device. Using the Contix™ was mostly comfortable, reduced the incidence of fecal leakage, aided in preventing fecal incontinence, and positively affected the users’ feeling of confidence.
