NCT ID NCT06493539
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study aimed to test a special wound vacuum device (CiNPWT) on people who had a leg amputation. The device applies gentle suction to the closed incision to reduce swelling and help healing. Researchers planned to compare it to standard wound care in about 6-10 adults, but the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Closed incision negative pressure wound therapy (CiNPWT) device
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better way to manage wounds after leg amputation, potentially reducing swelling and speeding recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study (6-10 people) that was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available. The approach may not prove better than standard care.
