About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Transdermal Compress device in participants with Transfemoral Amputations.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant must be able to understand the investigational nature of this study and has reviewed and provided written, informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures.

Participant is a skeletally mature male or female and is 18 - 60 years of age at screening. Participants < 22 years of age require radiographic confirmation of skeletal maturity and must have failed the use of conventional prosthesis.

Participant has an estimated BMI of ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 40 kg/m2 and weight ≤ 245 lbs without prosthesis.

Participant has unilateral or bilateral transfemoral limb loss without bone or vascular disease.

Disqualifiers

Female participants who are pregnant, nursing, or have a planned pregnancy during the first 12 months post-surgical implantation.

Participant had a prior osseointegrated device implanted in the lower limb planned for the study device.

Participant has a history of systemic or localized infection at the residual limb site within 6 months prior to Study Day 1.

Participant has any distant foci of infections.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The study primary endpoint is a composite endpoint to determine the proportion of participants who are successful on the primary effectiveness and safety endpoints (overall success) at 2 years

The following endpoint components will be used to assess effectiveness in the composite endpoint: Prosthetic Wear Time PROMIS Physical Function OPUS Satisfaction with Devices and Services The following will be used to assess safety in the composite endpoint: Lack of secondary surgical intervention. No more than 2 superficial infections per year and no more than 3 superficial infections in the first two years post-implantation. Radiographic success.

Time frame
Two (2) years post-implantation

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall infection rate

Overall infection rate subclassified as deep or superficial to the fascia.

Time frame
Two (2) and Five (5) years post-implantation
