The Trendlines Group (Trendlines) (SGX:42T) announced that its portfolio company Seger Surgical Solutions Ltd (Seger) achieved the successful completion of three first-in-human cases in a clinical trial for its proprietary SEGER IDEA laparoscopic bowel closure device.

The above procedures were conducted at Zacamil National Hospital in El Salvador.

Trendlines says that the SEGER IDEA device enables surgeons to align, close, and staple the common enterotomy quickly and securely entirely inside the body, eliminating the need for complex hand-sewn suturing or the traditional "extracorporeal" method, which requires larger incisions and lifting the bowel outside the abdominal cavity.
