Clip vs. stitches: which makes drains less painful?

NCT ID NCT06916286

Summary

This study is testing if a new clip device (K-LOCK™) makes surgical drains more comfortable and causes fewer problems than the usual method of stitching them in place. About 140 adults having plastic surgery will be randomly assigned to have their drains secured with either the clip or stitches. Researchers will track patient comfort and any drain-related issues for three months after surgery.
