3D-Printed device could make breathing tubes safer for obese patients

NCT ID NCT07349433

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new, custom-made 3D-printed device to hold breathing tubes in place for 66 obese adults. Standard methods often fail because of short necks and extra tissue, causing dangerous tube movement. The new holder is designed to fit each patient's face, and researchers compared it to usual methods to see if it improves stability, skin health, and comfort.
