Study of a Scar Gel Compared to a Benchmark to Prevent Hypertrophic Scars and Improve Scar Appearance

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the safety and topical effectiveness of a scar gel used continuously for 90 days. The study compares this investigational scar gel to a benchmark product to see how well each prevents hypertrophic scars and improves scar appearance. The research also examines effects on skin hydration, itching, discomfort, and scar pigmentation normalization. Participants will be randomly assigned to use either the investigational scar gel or the benchmark scar gel. Both products are health care devices applied topically to recent scars. The study is double-blinded to ensure unbiased results. The treatment period lasts 90 days, during which participants apply the products as directed. During the study, participants will attend scheduled visits for evaluations to monitor scar appearance and skin condition. Researchers will collect clinical assessments and participant perceptions throughout the 90-day period. The main outcome measured is the clinical and perceived efficacy of the scar gels after 90 days of use. Safety and skin hydration will also be monitored to understand the overall effects of the products.
