This trial tests a collagen wound dressing (like a special bandage) to help healing after breast tumor surgery. It may be a good option if you have a small breast tumor that has not spread and are scheduled for surgery.
This trial tests if applying timolol (a beta-blocker eye drop) to surgical wounds that are left open to heal by themselves can help them heal better and faster. It is for people who have had skin cancer removal surgery and have chosen not to have reconstructive surgery.
This trial tests a special dissolvable nasal dressing that slowly releases a steroid (mometasone furoate) to reduce swelling and polyps after sinus surgery. It may help improve healing and lower the need for additional treatments.
This trial tests a silk protein bandage for people having double-incision mastectomy as part of female-to-male gender affirmation surgery. The goal is to see if this special bandage helps wounds heal better.
This study tests a new suture-free (stitch-free) hydrogel—a clear gel that helps heal eye surface wounds after surgery—to see if it works safely and effectively. If you have an eye surface disease like a pterygium (growth on the eye) or corneal ulcer (sore on the cornea) that needs surgery, this trial may help determine if this gel can replace traditional stitches.
This trial tests a new clear gel patch that can be applied to corneal wounds (scars on the front of the eye) without needing stitches. The goal is to see if it helps heal corneal damage from injury or infection and is safe to use.
