NCT ID NCT07340632

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

Summary

This pilot study tests a device called BLOOM43 that warms the breast skin the night before reconstructive surgery after mastectomy. The goal is to see if preconditioning reduces skin necrosis (tissue death) and improves healing. Sixty women undergoing immediate breast reconstruction will use the device at home and report their experience.
