Video: The band-aid of the future: Smart bandage heals injuries 30% faster than standard dressings by producing an electric field around the wound
A water-powered electric bandage can heal serious wounds significantly quicker than conventional treatments, according to a new study
A water-powered electric bandage can heal serious wounds significantly quicker than conventional treatments, according to a new study.
The futuristic dressing uses an electric field to promote healing in chronic wounds and other injuries.
During animal testing, wounds treated with the electric bandages healed 30 per cent faster than wounds treated with conventional bandages.
Best of all, researchers from North Carolina State University say that the bandage is cheap to produce.
'These bandages can be produced at relatively low cost - we're talking about a couple of dollars per dressing in overhead costs,' said Dr Amay Bandokhar, co-author of the study.
