First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a gel patch called Perf-Fix that doctors place over a chronic hole in the eardrum to help it close naturally. 71 people aged 5 and older with large, non-healing eardrum holes took part. The main goals were to see if the patch safely closes the hole and how easy it is for doctors to apply.
