New suction device for surgical wounds enters first human safety trial
NCT ID NCT06259409
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether a new device called Regenn® Negative Pressure Therapy System is safe for people recovering from spinal fusion surgery. The device applies gentle suction to the surgical wound to help manage healing. About 30 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the new device or a similar existing device. Researchers will track serious complications, pain levels, and other side effects over three months.
