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.

What this could mean

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

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.
