Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to confirm device use safety and effectiveness in an actual use setting when utilized by gynecological surgeons during surgery for containment, segmentation and extraction of uterine tissue in pre-menopausal women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy for non-cancer indications.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The number of procedures where all critical tasks related to the Eximis CS are performed without serious use error. [Through study completion, anticipated to be 4-6 months]
Primary Endpoint
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of procedures successfully completed with use of the Eximis CS device. [Through study completion, anticipated to be 4-6 months]
Secondary Endpoint
- Number of Capture Bags with breach of containment. [Through study completion, anticipated to be 4-6 months]
Secondary Endpoint
- The number and severity of user adverse events caused by use error. [Day of surgery]
Secondary Endpoint
- The number and severity of subject adverse events caused by use error. [Minimum 30 days (Standard of care follow-up 4-6 weeks)]
Secondary Endpoint
- All other adverse events. [Minimum 30 days (Standard of care follow-up 4-6 weeks)]
Secondary Endpoint
Other Outcome Measures
- Duration of the segmentation/extraction procedure (from insertion of the Eximis CS deployment instrument into the abdomen until removal of the Eximis CS Capture Bag from the abdomen). [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
- Duration of the surgical procedure (from skin incision to skin closure). [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
- Length of incision (mm) used for the Eximis CS device at procedure end (removal of Eximis CS Capture Bag). [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
- Removed tissue weight (grams). [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
- Number of extracted tissue segments per subject. [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
- The size (mm) of the largest segment will be recorded, defined as the segment with the largest cross-sectional area of the surface that is parallel with the incision opening. [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
- Subject's pathology results of the extracted tissue and pathologist assessment of radiofrequency (RF) energy impact to the tissue, if any, from use of the Eximis CS device. [Day of surgery]
For Informal Evaluation
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Age >/= 21 and < 50 years.
-
Planned laparoscopic hysterectomy or myomectomy.
-
Tissue specimen is <11 cm in maximum diameter based on standard preoperative assessment.
-
Pre-operative evaluation which may include imaging, cervical cancer screening, and endometrial biopsy has been completed.
-
Signed informed consent.
-
Willing to adhere to protocol requirements and complete follow-up.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Subject is post-menopausal, defined as amenorrhea >12 months in the absence of ovulation suppression.
-
Known or suspected malignancy of gynecological origin as determined by standard clinical practice.
-
Candidate for en bloc tissue removal, for example through the vagina or via a mini-laparotomy incision.
-
Hemoglobin < 8 g/dl within 30 days prior to surgery.
-
Subject has a current history of undiagnosed genital bleeding.
-
Subject has an implanted electronic device where use of radiofrequency (RF) energy would be contraindicated (e.g., pacemaker, internal defibrillator).
-
Medical condition, surgical history, or intra-operative findings, which in the option of the investigator, precludes utilization of the Eximis CS System.
-
Known allergy to polyurethane, polyethylene, thermoplastic fluoropolymer and/or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride.
-
Concurrent participation in another therapeutic or interventional clinical trial with investigational pharmaceutical agent(s) or medical device(s) that could impact evaluation of this study as determined by the Investigator.
-
Inability to comply with the study procedures or follow-up in the opinion of the investigator.
-
Subject is pregnant.
-
Intraoperative Exclusion: Abdominal wall thickness at the umbilicus incision site is > 8 cm.
