A new bandage called E-bandage has been developed that speeds healing by 30 percent. This will be done directly through the delivery of electrotherapy to the wound site. The journal Science Advances published an animal study, which stated that the E-bandage healed diabetic ulcers much faster in mice than those without the bandage.
The bandage actively monitors the healing process. After the healing process, it harmlessly dissolves electrodes into the body. It is the first example of a smart regenerative system. It also marks the first bioresorbable bandage capable of delivering electrotherapy.
The bandage can be used as a powerful tool for patients with diabetes, whose ulcers are so complicated that they could also lead to death. It is a boon for these patients.
