Recruiting studies
- NCT07725718Recruiting
Mesh infection risk after abdominal wall repair
This study looks at why some people get an infection in the mesh used to fix a hole or weakness in the belly wall. The goal is to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent infections in the future.

This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.
Dublin, DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT03561376RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Zinc ointment versus petroleum jelly after skin surgery
This early-phase trial compares zinc oxide ointment versus petroleum jelly to help healing and scar appearance after certain skin surgeries. You might be able to join if you are having a suitable, uninfected, non-scalp skin incision and can use the study ointment.
Pittsburgh, PA, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04256798RecruitingPhase 3

Study of water exposure and drain-related risks after certain surgeries
This trial looks at how using water (like showers) affects risks related to surgical drains after specific cosmetic or reconstructive procedures. Your results may help improve post-surgery safety guidance for patients who go home with drains.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04900298Recruiting
Hand hygiene device study during adult surgeries
This study tests whether a personal hand-hygiene system helps reduce germs spreading during surgery. It involves adults having certain types of surgeries and the anesthesia team caring for them.
Portland, OregonAges 18–99 - NCT05989386RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Washing the belly to prevent infections after emergency surgery
This trial compares two solutions (salt water vs. povidone-iodine antiseptic) used to clean the belly during emergency surgery. The goal is to see which one better prevents wound infections.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT06014411Recruiting
Early vs delayed bathing after fracture surgery
This study compares bathing soon after fracture surgery versus waiting longer. It aims to see if early bathing is safe and works just as well.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06191159Recruiting
Comparing scar looks after different mastectomy incision methods
This trial compares three different ways surgeons make the incision (cut) during a mastectomy to see which one leads to the best-looking scar. You may be eligible if you are having a mastectomy without immediate reconstruction.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT06220045Recruiting
Comparing two meshes for closing abdominal incisions in urgent colon surgery
This trial tests two different mesh types used to close the midline incision after urgent colorectal surgery, to see which one better prevents hernias and wound infections.
GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT06309368RecruitingPhase 4
Wound irrigation method for ileostomy closure
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06420934Recruiting
Drying hands with one or two towels after surgical washing
This study compares drying your hands with one towel versus two towels after surgical handwashing. It aims to see which method is better at keeping hands clean.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18 years+ - NCT07275307Recruiting
Test of a wound gel to prevent infections after heart surgery
This study tests whether a special gel applied to the chest incision during heart surgery can lower the chance of wound infections. The gel may help keep the incision site clean and help it heal better.
San Donato Milanese, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06771726RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Can a smartphone app detect belly surgery wound infections?
This study uses an app with artificial intelligence (computer learning) to watch your surgical wound for signs of infection after belly surgery. If you have a smartphone, you can help test whether the app detects problems faster than usual care.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
EskilstunaAges 18 years+ - NCT07040683Recruiting
Vacuum dressing for skin grafts on lower leg
This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT07103707Recruiting
Open vs. laparoscopic gallbladder surgery infection risk
This trial looks at whether healing after gallbladder removal is better when the surgery is done with a few small cuts (laparoscopy) versus one larger cut (open surgery). It may help you avoid wound infections.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 18–65 - NCT07142408RecruitingPhase 3
Bacteria reduction before skin cancer surgery on legs
This trial tests if reducing bacteria on your skin before skin cancer surgery on the leg can lower the risk of infection, especially for wounds left open to heal naturally.
Marlton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07382973Recruiting
NTP safety in thyroid surgery: preventing complications
This trial is testing if a technology called NTP (a type of low-temperature plasma) can help prevent complications and improve cancer control when they remove all or part of the thyroid gland. It's for adults having thyroid surgery.
Ocoyoacac, State of MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07501897Recruiting
Cold plasma for healing cannula wounds in ECLS patients
This trial tests whether cold atmospheric plasma—a gentle, gas-based treatment—can help heal wounds where tubes enter the body for life support. It might offer a new way to care for these delicate spots.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07615517Recruiting
Comparing wound-closure methods for abdominal surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the layer under your skin after abdominal surgery to see which leads to better healing and fewer complications. You'll be randomly assigned to either have this inner layer stitched or left unstitched.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical wound infection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting surgical wound infection studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a surgical wound infection trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a surgical wound infection trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
