For some time now, scientists have known that electrical stimulation speeds the healing of chronic wounds such as diabetic skin ulcers. A thin, flexible, inexpensive new bandage delivers that healing ...

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% ...

Caltech researchers, working in collaboration with the USC Keck School of Medicine, have created a new type of smart bandage that can help improve the treatment of chronic wounds. The advanced ...

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 wearable device, a-Heal, combines AI, imaging, and bioelectronics to speed up wound recovery. It continuously monitors wounds, diagnoses healing stages, and applies personalized treatments like ...

A water-powered electric bandage can heal serious wounds 30% quicker than conventional treatments, according to a new study. The cheap-to-produce dressing uses an electric field to promote healing in ...

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% ...

Millions of Americans live with chronic wounds, which can take months or more to heal—if they ever do. Left untreated, chronic wounds can become infected and, in the worst cases, result in loss of ...

A team of NC State scientists developed a new small adhesive bandage that is activated by water. The electric bandage, held by postdoctoral researcher Rajaram Kaveti, recently received funding from ...

The electrodes are designed in a way that allows them to bend with the bandage and conform to the surface of the chronic wounds, which are often deep and irregularly shaped. “This ability to conform ...
