Smart bandages aim to stop leg swelling after bypass surgery
NCT ID NCT06603961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether custom pressure-guided elastic bandages can prevent leg swelling and other complications after coronary artery bypass surgery. About 106 adults having bypass surgery with leg vein removal will be split into two groups: one gets the custom bandages, the other gets standard care. Researchers will check for swelling, infection, and wound healing at 1, 2, and 6 weeks after surgery.
