Collagen patch put to the test: will it irritate skin?
NCT ID NCT07473661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether a collagen-based material causes skin irritation or allergic reactions. Thirteen healthy adults wore patches with the material on their skin repeatedly. Researchers checked for redness, swelling, or other signs of irritation using a standard grading scale. The goal was to see if the material is safe for future use in medical or cosmetic products.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- collagen-based material
- What this could lead to
- If the material is shown to be safe on skin, it could be used in future medical products like wound dressings or cosmetic patches.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small safety study with only 13 healthy volunteers. It does not test effectiveness for any disease, and results may not apply to people with skin conditions.
