First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new adhesive baseplate for people who have had their voice box removed (laryngectomy). The adhesive helps secure a breathing tube and is used right after surgery. Researchers want to see if it is safe, comfortable, and gentle on the skin. Twenty-five adults will use the adhesive and report their experience over about 30 days.
