Lacerations clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Lacerations are tears or cuts in the skin caused by an injury. UCSF is doing a randomized trial that compares an absorbable suture to a nonabsorbable suture for skin lacerations. The study looks at wound healing and complications after repair.

  • Vicryl Rapide Versus Nonabsorbable Suture

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This will be a prospective, randomized controlled trial assessing noninferiority of Vicryl Rapide compared to nonabsorbable suture. The study will be conducted in the Community Regional Medical Center emergency department (ED). The aim of this study, then, is to prospectively determine if 3-month cosmesis for traumatic laceration repair of trunk/extremity lacerations in adult patients with Vicryl Rapide is noninferior to nonabsorbable suture.
