Brief summary

This prospective, single-arm, multi-center, evaluation will collect clinical data in a post-market setting. The three types of procedures studied will be colectomy, gynecological, and thoracic. Investigators will perform each procedure using the device in compliance with their standard surgical approach and the ENSEAL X1 instructions for use.

Detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to prospectively generate device specific clinical data related to hemostasis in a post-market setting using the ENSEAL X1 per its instructions for use. There will be no blinding or planned interim analysis in this study.
