Exero Sensing Technology
xBar’s sensor array continuously records inflammation and motility markers to monitor healing. Here’s how.
Inflammation marker change (normalized to control electrode)
The tissue’s electrical properties can sense local inflammation.
Electrical inflammation markers indicate if there is mild, local inflammation, normal for properly healing tissue OR severe inflammation, possibly leading to a leak.
Motility markers indicate local hypoxia.
Motility markers are disrupted in hypoxic and ischemic conditions typical to a leak.

Post-operative monitoring of intestinal motility, ischemia, and inflammation for early detection of anastomotic leaks
The objective of this multi-center pilot study was to evaluate if this device can reliably detect anastomotic leaks earlier than the current standard of care.
Implantation of an Impedance Sensor for Early Detection of Gastrointestinal Anastomotic Leaks
Accurate early diagnosis of a gastrointestinal anastomotic leak remains a challenge. When an anastomotic leak develops, the electrical properties of the tissue undergoing inflammatory processes change, resulting from the extravasation of inflammatory fluid and cellular infiltration.
DEGRADABLE BIOSENSOR FOR THE EARLY DETECTION OF ABDOMINAL SEPSIS
Introduction: Postoperative abdominal sepsis is often a catastrophic event with huge clinical, organizational and economic impact.
Colonic Tissue Perfusion Assessment Using Local Electrophysiological Sensing
Verification of adequate perfusion is essential to ensure anastomosis integrity following colonic resections. Perfusion monitoring intra and postoperatively is challenging, and existing methods are unable to provide reliable perfusion metrics over time.
