Skin Substitute vs Natural Healing for Mohs Surgery Wounds
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to heal wounds after Mohs skin cancer surgery: using a skin substitute product or letting the wound heal naturally on its own. Researchers want to see which approach gives better results and faster healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having Mohs micrographic surgery (a precise skin cancer removal procedure)
- Your wound is suitable for natural healing without a graft or flap
- You can do daily wound care at home and attend follow-up visits
- You are willing to have photos taken of your healing wound for the study

This study tests whether using carbon dioxide gas during Mohs micrographic surgery (a precise skin cancer removal technique) helps wounds heal better with less scarring. You'd receive this during your scheduled surgery and be followed to see how your wound heals.
This trial is testing a new wound dressing (CAMP) plus standard care versus standard care alone for healing skin cancer surgery wounds. It's for people who have had Mohs surgery and whose wound can heal on its own without a flap or graft.
This study tests a new skin substitute called NovoSorb BTM for treating deep wounds that need a skin graft. If you have a large, full-thickness wound from an injury or reconstructive surgery, this trial may be an option to help your skin heal better.
This study compares two ways of closing a large wound after melanoma removal: using a skin flap (where nearby tissue is moved to cover the defect) versus a skin graft (taking a thin layer of skin from another area). It aims to see which method works better for healing.
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.
This trial tests a lab-grown skin product designed to help heal stubborn wounds that won't close on their own—including burns, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure sores. The goal is to see if this engineered skin can speed up healing and reduce scarring.
