Could a sticky film replace the knife for finger amputations?
NCT ID NCT07175675
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a semi-occlusive dressing (a special film changed weekly) works better than surgery for treating single fingertip amputations in adults. About 252 participants will be randomly assigned to either dressing or standard surgery. The main goal is to see which approach leads to better hand function and less pain one year after injury.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
semi-occlusive film dressing
What this could lead to
If the dressing works as well as surgery, it could offer a simpler, less invasive option for treating fingertip amputations.
What could go wrong
This is a single-center trial with 252 participants, and patients cannot be blinded to their treatment, which may bias results. The dressing may not heal as well as surgery for more severe injuries.
