Can a simple powder make central lines safer and more durable?
NCT ID NCT06451185
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a powder that helps stop bleeding under the usual clear dressing can keep central line sites cleaner and more secure. About 450 adults having heart surgery will take part. The main goal is to see if the powder helps the dressing last longer without needing an unplanned change.
