NCT ID NCT06487910

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

Summary

This pilot study tests a new way to make a custom pressure orthosis for burn scars using 3D scanning and printing. About 25 adults with healing hypertrophic burn scars will get the device. The main goal is to see if the manufacturing process works and the orthosis fits safely.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

3D-printed differential pressure distribution orthosis

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, custom-fit way to treat burn scars using 3D printing.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 25 people. It focuses on manufacturing success, not yet on whether the orthosis actually improves scars.
