Human Participant Study of a Prototype Multilayer Foam Dressing on Intact Skin.
Germany120 participantsStarted 2025-01-27
Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new prototype multilayer foam dressing on healthy, intact skin.
The study will find out how well the new prototype dressing stays in place as well as other dressing performance and safety factors when compared to two corresponding, marketed dressings with a similar intended use profile and shape.
The study will compare:
1. Prototype dressing vs Marketed dressing 1 on thighs and shins.
2. Prototype dressing vs Marketed dressing 2 on thighs and shins.
The main aim of the study is to show that the new prototype dressing is not worse than the established marketed comparison dressings in terms of staying in place on human participants at 7 days.
Dressings will have successfully stayed in place if the dressing edges have not lifted to reach the pad, and the pad is not exposed in any way.
Additional data will be collected to further support product performance up to 7 days, including safety information and potential device issues.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Participant is willing to avoid immersing the dressings in water (no swimming or bathing) for the duration of the study
Exclusion criteria
. Female participant who is pregnant, or lactating.

. Known skin sensitivity or allergies to adhesives, skin wipes, soap, surgical first-aid dressings, natural rubber or rubber latex, etc.
. Participants with a current active skin disease (e.g., eczema, psoriasis, or severe dermatoporosis), sunburn or skin peeling at the dressing application sites.
. Participants with a medical condition which may interfere with their perception of pain (such as diabetes, small-fibre neuropathy, allodynia, hyperalgesia etc.).
. Heavy smokers (e.g. \>20 cigarettes (\~1 pack) a day over the last 10 years) whose pain perception may have been affected through smoking.
