Some wounds won't heal by themselves. These lesions, which include certain diabetic ulcers, burns and surgical injuries, cause long-term suffering and can linger indefinitely if not successfully ...
The days of ripping off a Band-Aid could soon be in the past, with scientists creating a new affordable, flexible electronic covering that not only speeds and wirelessly monitors healing but performs ...
NC State researchers created an electric bandage that heals wounds 30% faster. The device uses a water-activated battery and electrodes to mimic natural healing. NCInnovation funded the research to ...
A new type of water-powered bandage could make it much easier for slow-healing wounds to close up. The bandage is technically "electric," but it is powered by adding water to the thin and flexible ...
Researchers have developed an inexpensive bandage that uses an electric field to promote healing in chronic wounds. In animal testing, wounds that were treated with these electric bandages healed 30% ...
