Disposable noninvasive skin closure to help healing and reduce scarring after plastic surgery
Official title: Disposable Noninvasive Skin Closure for Promoting Postoperative Wound Healing and Preventing Surgical Skin Scarring: A Single-Center, Prospective, Randomized Split-Scar, Self-Controlled Clinical Trial
Run by Peking University Third Hospital · NCT07849010 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests a disposable noninvasive skin closure device on one side of a plastic surgery incision to see if it helps wounds heal better and results in less scarring.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 20–50 undergoing plastic surgery with incisions >2 cm on the cheek, neck, trunk, or limbs (excluding hands/feet) and no history of abnormal scar formation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with autoimmune disease, prior abnormal scarring (keloids), wound infection, or use of other scar treatments during the study may not benefit.

What this trial studies
Adults undergoing plastic surgery with incisions longer than 2 cm on the face, neck, trunk, or limbs will be enrolled. Each incision is split, with the device applied to one half and standard care on the other half. Wound healing and scar appearance are evaluated at 1, 3, and 6 months by blinded plastic surgeons using standardized scar-rating tools. The study aims to determine the device’s safety and whether it improves healing and reduces scar formation compared with conventional care.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the device could improve wound healing and reduce visible scarring after plastic surgery.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies in wound closure and scar prevention have shown potential benefits with new closure approaches, but this specific within-subject design is relatively novel for this device.
