Safety and Feasibility of the MACS in Surgical Procedures: A Prospective Multi-Center Study

May 20, 2026 updated by: Levita Magnetics

Prospective, Multi-center, Single-arm, Open Label Study Designed to Assess the Safety and Feasibility of the MACS in Surgery Procedures

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and performance of the MACS device in adults undergoing elective plastic surgery procedures. Participants will undergo their planned surgical procedure in which the MACS device will be used as part of the procedure. Participants will be monitored during and after surgery to assess device performance and to identify any medical problems (adverse events) that may occur following use of the device.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: MACS-Assisted Surgical Procedure
Participants will undergo the planned surgical procedure utilizing the MACS system in accordance with the study protocol and device Instructions for Use (IFU). The MACS will be used as intended to support the surgical procedure. All participants will receive the intervention; no comparator arm is included. Safety and feasibility endpoints will be assessed perioperatively and during the defined follow-up period.
The MACS System is an investigational surgical device intended for use during surgical procedures as specified in the study protocol. The device will be utilized by qualified surgeons in accordance with the Instructions for Use (IFU) to support the intended surgical function. The study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of the MACS System when used during the planned procedure.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants with Device and/or Procedure Related Adverse Events
Time Frame: From enrollment to end of follow up at 30 days.
Adverse events will be summarized by relatedness to the device and/or procedure, seriousness and level of severity.
From enrollment to end of follow up at 30 days.
Average Number of Ports
Time Frame: During index procedure.

Ability to adequately retract tissue to achieve an effective exposure of the target tissue.

Adequate retraction will be deemed to be achieved if there is a reduction of the incision size or at least one conventional retractor is avoided compared to the investigator's standard practice.

During index procedure.
