New sensor could save replanted limbs by spotting trouble early
NCT ID NCT05297266
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a small sensor placed in the muscle of a replanted arm or leg after traumatic amputation. The sensor continuously measures carbon dioxide and temperature to detect blocked blood flow early. If a problem is found, doctors can quickly operate to restore blood flow. The goal is to improve the success of replantation surgery by catching ischemia before it causes permanent damage.
