Bone transport device aims to heal chronic leg ulcers
NCT ID NCT07079774
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a device called the TrueLok Elevate that uses a technique called transverse bone transport to help heal chronic lower limb ulcers. The device is attached to the leg and slowly moves a piece of bone to stimulate blood flow and tissue healing. Researchers will follow 153 adults for up to 12 months after the device is removed to see if their ulcers heal completely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TrueLok Elevate Transverse Bone Transport System (external fixation device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could offer a new way to heal stubborn lower limb ulcers without major surgery, potentially reducing amputations.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The device requires surgery and a long recovery, and not all ulcers may heal completely.
