U.S., Oct. 8 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07864298) titled 'Cohesive Bandage Fixation of Pulse Oximeter Probes and Skin Condition in Preterm Neonates' on Oct. 02.
Brief Summary: Pulse oximeter probes are used to continuously monitor oxygen levels in newborn babies in intensive care. These probes are usually attached to the baby's hand or foot with adhesive tape and must be moved to a new site every few hours. Repeatedly sticking and removing adhesive can damage the delicate skin of premature babies.
