Wound Healing of Incisional Wounds for Bilateral Hernia Repair

• Status: Withdrawn
• Trial end date: 2013-04-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of an oxygen producing gel (produced by combining baking soda and hydrogen peroxide) and see what effects (good and bad) it has on skin incisions in children.

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but have not been approved for use in this manner.

It is hypothesized that a combination of sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide may enhance wound healing of incisional wounds for bilateral hernia repair.

• Phase: Phase 1
