Tiny implant could track oxygen in legs of PAD patients
NCT ID NCT04514861
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new wireless sensor that is injected under the skin to measure oxygen levels in the legs of people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The sensor tracks how oxygen changes when blood flow is altered by a pressure cuff or changing position. Researchers want to see if this device works as well as current methods. Fifty-three adults with stable PAD will be followed for 12 months.
