BioHealx device study for anal fistula treatment
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a device called BioHealx for closing anal fistulas that have not healed after previous treatment. It aims to see how well the device works in real-world use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a single anal fistula (one tunnel) that needs surgery for the first time.
- Your fistula has failed to close after past treatment, or it came back.

This trial tests a hydrogel made from natural materials to help heal a specific type of anal fistula. It may be an option if you have a single high transsphincteric fistula with a seton in place for at least four weeks.
This trial tests a new collagen paste against standard flap surgery for a type of anal fistula. If you've already had a draining seton placed, you may be able to join this study to see which treatment works better.
This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
This trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
This trial tests a new procedure called Fistura to treat complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels between the anal canal and skin). It uses radiofrequency energy to close the fistula while preserving muscle. The study is for people whose fistula has already been drained with a temporary seton stitch.
This trial compares two types of stem cell treatments to help heal complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels near the anus). You may be eligible if your Crohn’s-related disease is mostly controlled and the fistula has not fully healed with standard treatments.
