New Electric Bandages Speed Wound Healing by 30%

New water-activated electric bandages offer a fast, affordable solution for improving chronic wound healing at home.

Chronic wounds are open wounds that heal slowly, if they heal at all. For example, sores that occur in some patients with diabetes are chronic wounds. These wounds are particularly problematic because they often recur after treatment and significantly increase the risk of amputation and death. Unfortunately, the existing treatment options for chronic wounds are costly, creating additional problems for patients.
