NCT ID NCT07562165

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a device called the Boneflo Tissue Collector, which collects a patient's own tissue and blood during surgery to coat bone substitutes. The goal was to see if it is safe and easy to use for treating severe bone defects, non-unions, or delayed healing. 50 patients were treated across four centers, and the device was evaluated by surgeons and other medical staff. The study focused on safety and usability, with some early data on bone healing over six months.
