Summary

This trial aims to study a mechanical device called Skin Tag Removal (STR) for removing skin tags in adults. The device works by placing a silicone band around the base of the skin tag to cut off

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with skin tags. Participants must be willing to use the STR device, keep a diary of their experience, and attend follow-up appointments. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants should be in good general health without conditions that could interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of a new mechanical device called STR for removing skin tags. It works by cutting off blood supply to the tag using a silicone band. The study includes keeping a diary and attending follow-ups to monitor results and any changes.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this method avoids freezing or burning tissue, it may have fewer side effects compared to other removal techniques. Potential side effects are not detailed but might include discomfort at the application site or minor skin irritation.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Skin Tag removal using the Manual Version of the STRExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Goal: successful removal of 80% of the skin tags treated with the manual version of the STR device. Subjects will have up to two (2) tags treated, therefore, 50-100 subjects are anticipated for this arm. A total of 100 skin tags is the ITT (intention to treat). Subject pool to be divided (as equal as possible) between two band sizes; 2-4mm (micro), or 4-6mm (standard).
Group II: Skin Tag removal using the Auto Version of the STRExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Goal: successful removal of 80% of the skin tags treated with the auto version of the STR device. Subjects will have up to two (2) tags treated, therefore, 50-100 subjects are anticipated for this arm. A total of 100 skin tags is the ITT (intention to treat). Subject pool to be divided (as equal as possible) between two band sizes; 2-4mm (micro), or 4-6mm (standard).
