Tiny study tests if belly binder harms lung function
NCT ID NCT07154589
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the AbClo device, a non-invasive abdominal binder used to keep the abdomen closed after surgery, affects lung function in 18 intensive care patients on ventilators. Researchers will measure lung pressure and volume before and after adjusting the device to the manufacturer's recommended setting, and again after the abdomen is surgically closed. The goal is to see if the device causes harmful changes to breathing and if adjusting the ventilator can help.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AbClo fascial approximation device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors adjust the AbClo device to minimize negative effects on lung function in open abdomen patients.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (18 people) that only measures short-term changes. It may not lead to any change in patient care or outcomes.
