Blood thinner may boost success of reattached fingers

NCT ID NCT04725201

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

Summary

This study looks at whether giving a blood thinner called heparin through a vein can improve the chances that a reattached finger will survive after a traumatic amputation. About 188 adults who have had finger reattachment surgery will be split into two groups: one gets heparin, the other does not. The main goal is to see if the finger is still alive when the patient leaves the hospital, while also checking for side effects like bleeding.
