New sensor could spot hidden clots after breast reconstruction

NCT ID NCT05710705

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

Summary

This study is testing a portable device that measures electrical signals and light absorption to monitor blood flow in tissue flaps used for breast reconstruction. Ten women undergoing this surgery will have the device attached to the flap during the operation. The goal is to see if the device can detect when blood flow is cut off, which mimics a dangerous clot. If it works, it could lead to better monitoring after surgery.

Active substance

portable bioimpedance measurement device

What this could lead to

If successful, this device could help doctors quickly spot blood clots in reconstructed breast tissue after surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 10 participants. The device is being tested during surgery, not for real-world clot detection yet.
