Evaluation of Hypersensitivity Reactions to Silk Fibroin Versus 2-octyl Cyanoacrylate Mesh in Shoulder Surgery (NCT07573202)
Silk Fibroin Versus 2-octyl Cyanoacrylate Mesh a Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate Hypersensitivity Reactions in Shoulder Surgery
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to document the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings after open shoulder surgery, to identify differences in clinic utilization for complications related to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings and to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to patient comfort and satisfaction for silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings.
