New catheter cap could make dialysis more comfortable
NCT ID NCT06905080
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new device called the Catheter Caps Case (C3) for dialysis patients. The goal is to see if it is more comfortable and easier to use than the usual gauze and tape. Ten adults with a dialysis catheter will try the device for 15 minutes, and researchers will measure how easy it is to put on and take off.
