NCT07173621
The purpose of this study is to understand how placing Amnioeffect on patients having transcutaneous thyroid or parathyroid surgery affects surgery scar appearance, pain, and the ability to swallow and compare it to patients who do not have anything placed during surgery. The Food and Drug Administration regulates the use of Amnioeffect for homologous use. Both Amnioeffect application and no Amnioeffect application are considered standard of care; however, for the purpose of this study, the use of Amnioeffect during surgery will be considered the intervention, and no Amnioeffect application will be the standard of care.
NCT03561376
Patients undergoing routine surgery in the Department of Dermatology for any indication on non-scalp skin and closed in linear fashion with scar greater than or equal to 4.5cm in length will be invited to participate in this split scar, head to head study comparing zinc oxide and petrolatum. Patients will apply respective ointments to each half of scar daily for one month and maintain a log of these activities. They will be seen at 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months post-operatively for photographic scar assessment and to complete the patient portion of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), a quantitative objective assessment of scar appearance. Trained observers (board-certified dermatologists) will score the observer portion of the scale. POSAS outcomes, post-operative infections, linear density of epidermal seal will be assessed at the 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months post-operative periods and compared between the two groups. Participants will have parking validated for all visits and upon completion of all portions of the study will receive a standardized skin care gift bag containing samples for hypoallergenic skin care products (washes, moisturizers, etc.).
NCT05234632
This is a prospective, multi-center, open label study evaluating the performance of PICO14 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) in the management of chronic open wounds (pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, diabetes related foot ulcers), dehisced surgical wounds and closed surgical incisions. The study comprises the Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) for a new variant of an established product. PICO 14 is based on another dressing called PICO. The primary objective is to evaluate functional performance of PICO 14 through verification of delivery of negative pressure and wound exudate management.
NCT03861065
The purpose of this research study is to determine if closing a surgical wound differently is better than the procedure that is currently used. The wound will be closed with what is considered "tertiary intent." This means, rather than leaving the wound open, the wound will be partially closed after surgery, and then completely closed 4-7 days after surgery. The investigators also want to see how this new wound closure process affects your quality of life.
NCT00766727
This study will evaluate a new dressing to be used for post-incision care for abdominoplasty patients. The hypothesis is that this dressing will minimize scar formation.
NCT03644316
A single-arm, prospective, unblinded, post marketing, single center study using BandGrip to close incisions post arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
NCT01521871
By means of a prospective, randomised trial the investigators want to examine skin closure in living donors - subjected to laparoscopic, hand-assisted nephrectomy - by tissue glue (Cyanoacrylate (Liquiband)) versus conventional, intracutaneous suture and dressing (1 : 1; 30 + 30 donors). Study hypothesis: (i) Latest generation tissue glue (Cyanoacrylate (Liquiband)) is at least as good as conventional suture regarding wound healing/complications. (ii) Peroperatively, tissue glue is faster than conventional suture.
