NCT ID NCT07582679
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two types of suture material—polypropylene and polyglactin—for closing upper limb wounds. Researchers will assess scar quality and infection rates in 100 adults undergoing surgery. The goal is to determine which material leads to better cosmetic outcomes and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
suture material (polypropylene or polyglactin)
What this could lead to
If one suture material proves better, it could guide surgeons to choose the best option for upper limb wound closure, improving scar appearance and reducing infection risk.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients or wound types. Differences between materials may be small or not clinically meaningful.
