VersaWrap patch for Achilles tendon repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a special wrap (VersaWrap) used during surgery to repair a torn or damaged Achilles tendon. It may help the tendon heal better and could be an option for people who need this type of surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need surgery to repair your Achilles tendon (either a recent tear or a planned insertional repair).
- If it's a recent tear, surgery must happen within 6 weeks of injury.
- You must be 18 to 89 years old at the time of surgery.
- You cannot have had prior Achilles surgery on either ankle.
- You cannot be pregnant or plan to become pregnant in the next year.
- You cannot have an active infection, uncontrolled diabetes, or certain autoimmune conditions.

This trial compares two types of surgery for a fresh Achilles tendon tear: a keyhole procedure using a nearby tendon, versus a minimally invasive repair. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery.
This trial looks at how well people do after an Achilles tendon rupture when they are treated without surgery. It may help improve recovery guidance for others by comparing outcomes based on how care is followed.
This trial is testing a new way to repair a completely torn Achilles tendon. It uses MRI scans to make sure the repair is as good as possible, aiming for better healing and recovery.
This study compares two surgical techniques for repairing a painful Achilles tendon where it attaches to the heel bone. The goal is to see if one method gives better results, and you would need to be willing to have surgery and follow a rehab plan.
This study tests a new implant called REGENETEN that may help your Achilles tendon heal better after surgery. It is for people with either a recent tear in the middle of the tendon or long-term pain at the heel where the tendon attaches.
This study looks at whether a bio-dissolving (self-absorbing) gel improves how well the wrist flexor tendons glide after surgery for a distal radius fracture. You may be randomly assigned to use the gel or not, and the researchers will measure wrist tendon and clinical outcomes to see if it helps.
