New collagen patch aims to speed up wound healing for burn and trauma patients
NCT ID NCT06787690
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a product called Cohealyx, a collagen matrix placed on deep wounds after surgery to help them heal enough for a skin graft. The trial involves 41 people with full-thickness wounds from burns or trauma. Researchers want to see how long it takes for Cohealyx to prepare the wound for a successful skin graft.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Cohealyx Collagen Matrix (a device applied to wounds to prepare them for skin grafting)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, Cohealyx could speed up wound healing and reduce the time needed before a skin graft can be placed.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The device may not work as well in all wound types or patients.
