Testing a dressing on surgical wounds to help healing
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how a wound dressing or treatment affects healing in surgical cuts that are closed with sutures or similar methods. You may be able to join if you’re having a skin surgery on the neck, trunk, or arms/legs with a long enough wound you can follow up on.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be 18 years old or older

- Have skin surgery planned on your neck, trunk, or arms/legs with the wound being closed directly
- Expect the wound to be at least 3 centimeters long when it’s planned for closure
- Be willing to come back for follow-up visits

This study compares two different ways of stitching up surgical cuts on the head or neck to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications. If you are having skin surgery on your head or neck and the cut will be closed directly, this trial might be a fit for you.
This trial looks at whether a different dressing placed on the chest incision during certain heart surgeries can lower the risk of surgical wound infections. If you are having a sternotomy (a cut through the breastbone), this could help keep your incision cleaner while you heal.
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 trial tests a new vacuum dressing (3M V.A.C. Peel and Place) to see how safe and well it works for different types of wounds. The dressing helps wounds heal by gently pulling fluid and dirt out, and this study wants to make sure it works well for you.
This study tests a special dressing (called CAMP) for healing wounds after skin cancer removal. The dressing is applied along with your usual care, and we compare it to usual care alone to see which helps wounds heal better.
This trial tests a new way to help wounds heal by using a special material that supports the skin's natural repair process. It is for people with different types of wounds that need surgery, like burns, cuts, or chronic sores.
