First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a special heating device on the breast before mastectomy and reconstruction is practical and helpful. Forty adult patients will either use the device for one or three cycles, or receive no treatment. The main goal is to see if patients can follow the process and if it reduces skin complications after surgery.
