New Light-Based scanner could replace needle tests for leg wounds
NCT ID NCT06899113
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a new imaging device called MIMOSA Pro can measure oxygen levels in leg tissue as accurately as standard tests like ankle-brachial index or Doppler ultrasound. Researchers will compare the device's readings to those from traditional methods in 60 adults with vascular disease or chronic leg wounds. If successful, the MIMOSA Pro could offer a quicker, non-invasive way to assess blood flow.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a simpler, faster way to check blood flow in leg wounds without needles or special equipment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study, not a treatment trial. The new device may not match the accuracy of standard tests, and results may not apply to all patients.
