Lacerations clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

A laceration is a cut in the skin that can often require stitches. At UCSF, a study compares the effectiveness of Vicryl Rapide, a type of stitch, with nonabsorbable stitches. This research involves randomized testing to understand which method works best for healing.

  • 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.
