First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a surgically implanted device called the Transdermal Compress Device in 100 people with above-knee amputations. The device is designed to help them use a prosthetic limb more effectively and safely. Researchers will track how well participants can wear and use their prosthesis, as well as monitor for infections or the need for additional surgeries over two years.

What this could lead to
If successful, this device could allow people with above-knee amputations to wear a prosthetic limb more comfortably and with fewer infections or complications.
