Anastomotic leak remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after colorectal surgery. Among multiple risk factors considered, hypoxia–ischaemia is considered to be a primary cause of intestinal anastomotic leakage. The aim of this experimental study was to assess safety, usability for surgical tasks, and efficacy of a newly developed oxygen‐producing suture material in the healing of colonic anastomoses under critical conditions.
