Negative Pressure Bandaging After Breast Removal Surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special bandage that uses gentle suction to help wounds heal better after breast cancer surgery. Researchers want to see if this type of bandaging reduces complications like fluid buildup and improves healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are having breast removal surgery (mastectomy)
- You are female and at least 18 years old
- You are not planning to have an implant placed during the same surgery
- The surgical team will not be using a Harmonic instrument (a special cutting tool) during your surgery

This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
This study tests a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) to prevent wound problems after complex breast cancer surgery. It's for women who have risk factors for poor healing and are having a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction or a certain breast-conserving surgery.
This study tests if a special wound dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps healing after breast reduction surgery. It may reduce scarring and improve recovery for women having this specific type of breast reduction.
This trial tests whether a special “suction” dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after breast reconstruction using tissue from the belly, especially in people with higher body weight. You may be more likely to benefit if you’re at higher risk for wound problems after abdominal flap surgery.
This study tests whether compression bandages can reduce “lymphoceles,” which are fluid collections that can happen after mastectomy-type breast surgery. If you’re having this surgery, the trial may help prevent complications and improve recovery.
This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.
