Test graft for closing reopened abdominal surgical wounds
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies ActiGraft to help heal an abdominal surgical wound that has reopened and needs a second closure. It may help the wound close more effectively when the wound is still early but has been open for more than 24 hours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Be a woman who had an abdominal incision (laparotomy) within the last 3 weeks
- Have a reopened abdominal wound (wound dehiscence) that doctors decide needs a second closure
- Your wound has been open for more than 24 hours but less than 6 days
- The open area includes the skin layers and fat under the skin (not just deeper tissue)
- Be able to sign informed consent

This trial studies whether ActiGraft helps heal draining (exuding) skin wounds safely and effectively. If you join, the researchers may use your wound photos and health data to analyze results and publish findings.
This trial tests whether adding a special mesh (TIGR Matrix) to close the belly after surgery helps prevent complications in people at high risk. It may be an option if you are having a repeat abdominal surgery and have certain health conditions.
This trial tests a new bandage (called Microlyte DualGuard) for the spot on your thigh where skin is taken for a graft. The bandage contains silver and gallium, which may help the wound heal and reduce infection. The study will check if the bandage is safe and how well it works.
This trial tests a special wound dressing (SupraSDRM®) to help deep, full-thickness wounds heal faster and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed. It may be an option for people with a large, deep wound from an injury, surgery, or burn that isn't ready for a graft yet.
This study tests how well a pig-based covering dressing works on skin graft donor-site wounds (where skin is taken to make a graft). It may help support faster, safer healing after a split-thickness skin graft.
This trial tests a disposable device that closes holes or tears in the stomach or intestines during an endoscopic procedure. It may help stop bleeding, seal fistulas, or repair perforations, potentially avoiding the need for surgery.
