Light-based oxygen monitoring for skin flap healing
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special light-based tool that checks how well oxygen is getting to the new tissue after your flap surgery. It aims to catch blood flow problems early, which could help prevent complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 90 years old.
- You need to be scheduled for a plastic surgery procedure that uses a flap of skin and tissue to rebuild an area.
- You must be able to understand what the study involves and sign a consent form.
- You cannot be pregnant, nursing, a prisoner, or someone considered legally vulnerable under Finnish law.

This trial tests a device that measures oxygen levels in skin flaps used during reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors ensure the flap is healing well after surgery on an arm or leg.
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help skin and tissue that did not heal well after breast cancer surgery. It may reduce damage and improve recovery.
This study uses a special light-based device to measure oxygen levels in your tissues during vascular surgery. It aims to see if this monitoring can help doctors better understand blood flow during the operation, which may help improve outcomes.
This trial uses a near-infrared light device (NIRS) to monitor blood flow in the new tissue after free flap surgery for head and neck cancer. It helps doctors check that the flap is healing well.
This study looks at how blood flows through special skin flaps used in reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors better understand and predict how these flaps heal, especially for people who need repair after injuries or pressure sores.
This study tests a special sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) that checks blood flow to the heart and other organs during heart surgery. It may help doctors monitor and improve care for children having complex heart procedures.
