Nail coating study for high-risk healthcare workers
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special nail coating reduces bacteria on the nails of healthcare workers. If you work in a high-risk ward, your nails can be checked and coated to see if it helps keep them cleaner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a nurse, doctor, or respiratory physiotherapist working in a high-risk ward (like ICU or infectious disease)
- Your nails and cuticles must be healthy (no damage, infection, or cracks)
- You are not an operating room staff member who uses surgical hand brushing
- You do not work in a general nursing ward

This study looks at how well nurses clean their hands and whether germs on their personal items like phones, pens, and badges might be linked. It aims to improve infection control in intensive care units.
This study tests three different mouth care routines to see which one reduces bacteria in the mouth most effectively. It aims to find a simple way to prevent infections in patients who are very ill in the hospital intensive care unit.
This study looks at whether long-term, low-level radiation exposure at work affects the health of very small blood vessels. It uses a quick, non-invasive test on the fingernail area and a blood sample to compare healthcare workers with and without radiation exposure.
This study tests a medicated nail patch to see if it can improve nail fragility, fungal infections (onychomycosis), or psoriasis that covers up to 75% of the nail. It might help if you have nail problems that haven't gotten better with other treatments.
This trial tests two different treatments for fungus that affects the fingernails or toenails. It is designed to see how well the treatments work and if they are safe.
This study follows people age 18+ who broke the tibia (shin bone) and are at higher risk for infection. It compares a standard internal metal nail to a special coated nail to see which one lowers infection problems and supports healing.
