The wound-healing effect was also stronger when the current was applied to only one side of the wound as opposed to both sides. Unidirectional stimulation led to full wound closure at 10 hours, ...

Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers in a project at Chalmers ...

Chronic wounds such as diabetic skin ulcers can be very slow to heal, potentially leading to amputations or sometimes even death. A new bandage could speed their healing by delivering electrical ...

Chronic wounds, which heal slowly or not at all, present a significant challenge in medical care. A team of scientists at North Carolina State University has developed a groundbreaking solution: an ...

Scientists have developed a “smart” bandage that can heal a serious wound 25% faster than the average bandage. The battery-free flexible device monitors the injury and simultaneously delivers targeted ...

A wireless “smart” bandage that combines advanced electronics with an engineered hydrogel shows promise in accelerating tissue repair by simultaneously monitoring the healing process and treating the ...

Newly developed battery-powered electric bandages could help wounds heal more quickly, a new study reports. In animal testing, wounds treated with electric bandages healed 30% faster than wounds ...

Northwestern Engineering researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind small, flexible, stretchable bandage that accelerates healing by delivering electrotherapy directly to the wound site. In an ...

Using direct current to stimulate a chronic wound can help it to heal up to three times faster, researchers from Chalmers Institute of Technology, Sweden, and the University of Freiburg, Germany, ...
