Evaluation of the Adhesive Strength of the Geko™ X-T3 Neuromuscular Stimulator Incorporating a New Skin Adhesive Hydrogel Formulation Designated KM40C
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating or geko™ X-T3 for Stroke, Acute. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study will look at the stickiness of a new skin adhesive incorporated into a new next generation geko™ device called the geko™ X-T3 and compare it to the adhesive currently used into the geko™ T3 device. The study is for people who are in hospital in the Acute Stroke Unit, and who will be receiving daily treatment with the geko™ T3 device in line with UK guidelines as part of their standard acute stroke care and venous thromboembolism prevention.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The geko™ X-T3 is a next generation self adhesive medical device incorporating a new formulation skin adhesive. It is about the size of a wrist watch which attaches to the side of the knee and when switched on, gentle painless electrical pulses are produced which contract the calf muscles and increase blood flow to the lower leg. The only difference between the currently used geko™ T3 device and the new geko™ XT-3 device is the adhesive used to attach each device to the skin.
