NCT ID NCT05598801
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a device called VersaWrap, a wrap placed around tendons during hand surgery to help them glide smoothly afterward. Seventeen adults having tendon repair, fracture repair, or tenolysis were enrolled. The main goal was to see how many later needed another surgery to free up scarred tendons.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- VersaWrap (a protective wrap applied to tendons during hand surgery)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, VersaWrap could reduce the need for a second surgery to free up scarred tendons after hand procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study (17 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply widely. The device may not prevent scar tissue or could cause allergic reactions.
