New device aims to prevent bedsores from breathing tubes
NCT ID NCT06533436
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new device called AnchorFast for holding breathing tubes in place in intensive care patients. It compares AnchorFast to the current method using cords. The goal is to see if AnchorFast reduces skin sores, tube movement, and lung infections. 350 adults who need a breathing tube will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AnchorFast device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, AnchorFast could reduce pressure sores and tube movement in ICU patients, improving comfort and care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with 350 participants, so results may not apply to all ICUs. The device may not significantly outperform current methods.
