NCT ID NCT02880163
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a device called ResQFoam, an expandable foam injected into the abdomen to stop severe internal bleeding caused by trauma. The study involves 40 people with life-threatening hemorrhagic shock who need emergency surgery. The goal is to see if the foam can safely raise blood pressure and control bleeding until surgery can be performed.
What this could mean

ResQFoam (expandable foam device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this foam could quickly stop life-threatening abdominal bleeding in trauma patients, buying time for surgery and improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The foam could cause complications like increased abdominal pressure or fail to control bleeding.
