First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study looks at whether people who have had heart surgery can safely and effectively collect a swab from their own chest wound at home. About 40 adults will try it using a special instruction pack, with a researcher watching via video call. The goal is to see if this approach is acceptable, safe, and could save money compared to coming back to the hospital for wound checks.
