New portable device could speed leg wound healing after skin cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT07032701
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a small, portable device called SNaP that uses gentle suction to help surgical wounds on the lower legs heal faster after Mohs surgery for skin cancer. About 60 adults aged 19-79 with lower leg wounds will either use the SNaP device or receive standard wound care. The main goal is to see if the device shortens healing time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SNaP Wound Care System (disposable negative pressure wound therapy device)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a faster, more convenient way to heal surgical wounds on the lower legs after skin cancer removal.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device may not speed healing compared to standard care.
