Which dressing is kinder to your skin after shoulder surgery?
NCT ID NCT07573202
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how often people develop allergic skin reactions to two different wound dressings used after open shoulder surgery: one made from silk protein and another from a medical glue mesh. About 350 adults having shoulder surgery will be randomly assigned to one dressing, and doctors will check for redness, itching, or other signs of allergy. The goal is to find out which dressing causes fewer problems and is more comfortable for patients.
